Abstract:ObjectiveIn order to deepen the understanding of clinicians on Sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma (SNTCS), improve the early diagnosis of SNTCS, the curative effect and prognosis of the patients.MethodsA case of SNTCS in January 2019 was reviewed. The lesion was resected after a mass lesion occupying the nasal cavity was confirmed by imaging. CNKI and PubMed were used as search tools to review the relevant literature and discuss the clinical characteristics, imaging manifestations, differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of SNTCS.ResultsThe postoperative histopathological examination of this case revealed SNTCS in the left nasal cavity. No recurrence was found in the 1 year follow-up period. A total of 89 relevant literatures were searched on the retrieval platform of "CNKI and Pubmed". 55 literatures of them with 95 cases were finally selected after the exclusion of the criteria. However, there was no bulk sample report. This study is the largest one so far.ConclusionsSNTCS is very rare, which has the characteristics of high invasion and rapid growth. The diagnosis of SNTCS depends on pathological diagnosis. Early diagnosis and timely surgical treatment combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy can appropriately prolong the life of the patients with SNTCS. The prognosis of SNTCS is poor, so it should be treated as soon as possible.
