Carcinoma sarcomatoide de fosa nasal: a propósito de un caso y revisión de la literatura / Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the nasal cavity: a case report and review of the literature

El carcinoma epidermoide sarcomatoide es una entidad rara en la fosa nasal. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 50 años con una masa polipoide en la cavidad nasal izquierda. En el estudio anatomopatológico, se observa una histología bifásica de nidos escamosos no queratinizantes y un estroma sarcomatoide con positividad para AE1-AE3. El paciente presentó metástasis cervicales ipsilaterales, tratándose con vaciamiento cervical, radioterapia y cisplatino adyuvante. Dos años después se encuentra libre de enfermedad

Spindle cell carcinoma of the nasal cavity is a rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma. We report a case of a 50 year-old male presenting with a polypoid mass in the left nasal cavity. Histologically, the tumor was biphasic, composed of non-keratinizing squamous nests and a sarcomatoid stroma with positivity for CKAE1-AE3. Metastatic ipsilateral lymph nodes were present and the patient underwent radical neck dissection, followed by adjuvant radiotherapy and cisplatin. Two years after diagnosis the patient is free of disease
