Abstract EN
Nasal fibrosarcoma is an infrequent malignant neoplasm.
It usually presents as other sarcomas in this region, with nasal obstruction and epistaxis.
The final diagnosis is based on the histopathology and immunohistochemistry.
We report the case of a 37-year-old man with a 3-month history of recurrent epistaxis and nasal obstruction.
Nasal endoscopy confirmed a right nasal neoplasia.
Computed tomography and magnetic resonance image showed the tumor.
TEP scan showed no metastasis.
Complete removal was achieved through a combined surgery, by endoscopic endonasal approach and by incision in the right upper oral vestibule.
Fibrosarcoma was found on histopathologic and immunohistochemistric examinations.
After 12 months, the postoperative course was uneventful and follow-up information showed no recurrence of metastasis.
However, in the 13th month, the patient suddenly died at home.
Autopsy found no obvious cause for his death.
To the best of our knowledge, no case of a fibrosarcoma of the nasal cavity with sudden death has been previously reported in the English-language.
