Leiomyosarcoma as a rare primary tumor of nasal cavity
Journal Title: Ege Tıp Dergisi - Year 2015, Vol 54, Issue 4
Abstract
Leimyosarcoma is a rare soft tissue tumor originating from smooth muscle cells and it is usually diagnosed in the endometrium and gastrointestinal tract. Compared with carcinomas which are the most common malignancies of the nose and the paranasal cavity, the incidence of sarcomas is quite low and leiomyosarcomas are rarely found among these sarcomas. Surgical excision is the usually preferred treatment choice for these tumors. In this paper, a case with nasal cavity leimyosarcoma originating from a rare location as the posterior part of lower concha and treated with endoscopic transnasal surgical excision is presented with the relevant literature.
