Excerpt

The sino-nasal tract is an uncommon site for primary malignancy. Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare tumour and may involve the sino-nasal tract. Sphenoid sinus is a very rare location for ACC. We present a case of ACC of sphenoid sinus with intracranial extension treated successfully with radical radiation. …
