Abstract

Intestinal-type sinonasal adenocarcinoma accounts for about 3% of cancers of the upper aero-digestive tract. It is commonly seen in men in the age group of 55-60 years.

The patient was given induction chemotherapy to make the condition surgically amenable, but the regression was modest, and hence she has been put on concurrent chemo-radiotherapy.
