Abstract:
Rhabdomyosarcoma is an aggressive malignant tumor rarely developing in the head and neck in adults. In the sinonasal region, rhabdomyosarcoma constitutes a clinically important group because of the difficulty of surgical resection and its generally poor prognosis. Inverted papilloma is a relative rare and benign sinonasal lesionconstituting 0.5% to 4% of all nasal tumors that has a known propensity for recurrence, local aggressiveness, and association with transformation to malignancy. Squamous cell carcinoma is the major malignancy that is associated with inverted papilloma. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma accompanied with inverted papilloma, and we represent the case with a review of the related literatures.
