Malignant neoplasms of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are uncommon. Choriocarcinoma is a highly malignant germ cell tumour occurring in the reproductive organs. Metastasis may be principally by the lymphatic route as in other germ cell tumours but choriocarcinoma is also known to spread haematogenously. We present a rare case of metastatic choriocarcinoma to the nasal cavity from testicular teratoma presenting with intractable epistaxis in a 32-year-old Caucasian male, who ultimately succumbed to this disease.
鼻腔和鼻窦的恶性肿瘤并不常见。绒毛膜癌是一种发生于生殖器官的高度恶性生殖细胞肿瘤。转移可能主要通过淋巴途径，如同其他生殖细胞肿瘤一样，但绒毛膜癌也可通过血行转移。我们报告一例罕见的睾丸畸胎瘤转移至鼻腔的绒毛膜癌病例，该病例为一名32岁的白种男性，表现为难治性鼻出血，最终死于该病。
