Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ADCC) is a malignant tumor of salivary gland origin. ADCC of sinonasal tract is rare. We present a rare and unresectable case of sinonasal ADCC with intracranial extension in an 83-year-old man with the chief complaint of nasal congestion. Invasion to the maxillary sinus, nasopharynx, anterior cranial fossa, sella turcica and extension to cavernous sinus, dura mater and infratemporal fossa were evident on MRI and CT scan. The patient was treated only by palliative radiotherapy, but unfortunately, he died 3 months after the initial diagnosis.
腺样囊性癌（ADCC）是一种来源于唾液腺的恶性肿瘤。发生于鼻腔鼻窦的 ADCC 较为罕见。我们报道了一例罕见的、无法切除的鼻腔鼻窦 ADCC 病例，该病例发生于 83 岁男性，主要表现为鼻塞。磁共振成像（MRI）和计算机断层扫描（CT）显示肿瘤侵犯上颌窦、鼻咽部、前颅窝、蝶鞍，并向海绵窦、硬脑膜和颞下窝延伸。该患者仅接受姑息性放疗，但不幸的是，在最初诊断后 3 个月死亡。
