Abstract

VAN ZYL, Tineke et al. Correlative imaging and histopathology of a complicated sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma. S. Afr. J. radiol. (Online) [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.1, pp.1-5. ISSN 2078-6778.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/sajr.v27i1.2548.

Sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma (SNTCS) is a highly malignant and rare tumour characterised by a complex admixture of teratomatous and carcinosarcomatous components. In the head and neck area, it almost exclusively occurs in the sinonasal cavities; however, rare instances of nasopharyngeal and oral cavity involvement have been reported, with fewer than 100 cases reported in the literature. CONTRIBUTION: The contributed case involves the correlative CT, MRI and histopathology of a sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma with intracranial involvement.

Keywords : Sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma; histopathology; computerised tomography; magnetic resonance imaging; intracranial; diffusion-weighted imaging.
