Leiomyosarcoma of the Nose and Paranasal Sinuses / 대한이비인후과학회지

ABSTRACT

Leiomyosarcoma is an uncommon tumor of smooth-muscle origin, and has rarely been described in reference to the head and neck region. There have been 30 previously reported cases of this tumor involving the sinonasal tract in the literature. We present a case of leiomyosarcoma involving the nasal cavity, ethmoid, and sphenoid sinus. We also review here the characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of this tumor.
