Low-grade sinonasal sarcoma with neural and myogenic features is an entity recently described in the literature. Little is known about its etiopathogenesis, natural history, or optimal treatment. In fact, it has relatively unique findings: it has a distinctive cytogenetic signature, and it expresses both smooth muscle actin and S100 protein. However, its diagnosis is challenging on biopsies showing negative staining for these 2 markers. The differential diagnoses include fibrosarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, and other benign and malignant lesions. A complete resection, with or without radiotherapy, is required because this lesion appears to be locally aggressive. However, the clinical outcome seems to be good. Low-grade sinonasal sarcoma with neural and myogenic features merits classification as an independent tumor in the next World Health Organization classification of head and neck tumors. Reports of additional cases are required to support its unique classification.
具有神经和肌源性特征的低级别鼻窦肉瘤是一种最近在文献中被描述的实体。关于其病因、自然史或最佳治疗方法知之甚少。事实上,它有相对独特的表现:具有独特的细胞遗传学特征,并且同时表达平滑肌肌动蛋白和S100蛋白。然而,在对这两种标志物染色均为阴性的活检标本上,其诊断具有挑战性。鉴别诊断包括纤维肉瘤、恶性外周神经鞘瘤以及其他良性和恶性病变。由于该病变似乎具有局部侵袭性,因此需要进行完整切除,可联合或不联合放疗。然而,临床结果似乎较好。具有神经和肌源性特征的低级别鼻窦肉瘤应在世界卫生组织下一次头颈部肿瘤分类中被归类为独立肿瘤。需要更多病例报告来支持其独特的分类。
