Abstract

We report on a patient who presented with nasal obstruction and epistaxis. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging studies demonstrated a large expansive heterogeneous mass filling the left nasal cavity. Intravenous contrast administration revealed a lesion with moderate enhancement, without paranasal sinuses involvement or intracranial invasion. Patient underwent tumor resection; biopsy confirmed the presence of an extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET). Currently undergoing treatment in the National Cancer Institute.
