A malignant peripheral nerve-sheath tumor : A CARE case report

Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved..

INTRODUCTION: Malignant peripheral nerve-sheath tumor (MPNST) is an extremely rare sarcoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Non-specific clinical and radiological presentation and challenging histological diagnosis make it little known by physicians. We describe a case of maxillary sinus MPNST, following CARE guidelines.

CASE REPORT: A 62-year-old woman consulted for swelling of the right cheek and hard palate with several months' progression. CT and MRI revealed a tissue mass in the right maxillary sinus with osteolysis of the orbital and maxillary floors, hard palate and lateral and medial walls of the maxillary sinus. Biopsy confirmed diagnosis of low-grade MPNST. After total resection and 60Gy adjuvant radiotherapy, 2-year follow-up showed no signs of recurrence.

CONCLUSION: MPNST in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is very rare. Because of a high risk of recurrence, wide resection should be implemented, possibly completed by radiotherapy if resection cannot be complete because of proximity to at-risk structures.
