Abstract
Introduction: Pleomorphic hyalinizing angiectatic tumor (PHAT) is a rare low-grade malignant mesenchymal neoplasm. It commonly occurs in the limbs and trunk, with limited occurrences in the head and neck region. Only five cases of PHAT occurring in the head and neck have been reported in the literature to date. The etiology of PHAT remains unclear. We described a case of nasal cavity PHAT following CARE guidelines.
Case summary: A 32-year-old male with PHAT originating in the nasal cavity recurred after two surgeries. Adjuvant radiotherapy was performed after the third surgery. The patient has been regularly followed up for 36months, and no tumor recurrence or metastasis has been observed.
Discussion: PHAT is a rare soft tissue tumor known for its local aggressiveness. Because of a high risk of recurrence, extensive resection should be implemented, possibly completed by radiotherapy if resection cannot be complete because of proximity to at-risk structures.
期刊介绍:
European Annals of Oto-rhino-laryngology, Head and Neck diseases heir of one of the oldest otorhinolaryngology journals in Europe is the official organ of the French Society of Otorhinolaryngology (SFORL) and the the International Francophone Society of Otorhinolaryngology (SIFORL). Today six annual issues provide original peer reviewed clinical and research articles, epidemiological studies, new methodological clinical approaches and review articles giving most up-to-date insights in all areas of otology, laryngology rhinology, head and neck surgery. The European Annals also publish the SFORL guidelines and recommendations.The journal is a unique two-armed publication: the European Annals (ANORL) is an English language well referenced online journal (e-only) whereas the Annales Françaises d’ORL (AFORL), mail-order paper and online edition in French language are aimed at the French-speaking community. French language teams must submit their articles in French to the AFORL site.
Federating journal in its field, the European Annals has an Editorial board of experts with international reputation that allow to make an important contribution to communication on new research data and clinical practice by publishing high-quality articles.
