We report a third case of an unusual maligant neoplasm of the paranasal sinuses in a 60-year-old woman. Similar cases have been previously reported and called malignant teratoma. In consultation with Ackerman (written communication, February 1976) we propose the term "teratocarcinoma" and believe this is to be a more descriptive term and less likely to be confused with the generic term "teratoma," which is a benign tumor.
我们报告了一例发生在一名60岁女性鼻窦的罕见恶性肿瘤的第三例病例。类似病例此前已有报道，并被称为恶性畸胎瘤。经与阿克曼商议（书面通信，1976年2月），我们提出“畸胎癌”这一术语，并认为这是一个更具描述性的术语，不太可能与“畸胎瘤”这一通用术语混淆，后者是一种良性肿瘤。
