Abstract
Intestinal type adenocarcinoma (ITAC) is a rare malignancy of nose and PNS. We report a case of 40 year old man with intestinal type adenocarcinoma of nose and PNS. Presentation was unilateral nasal mass with nasal blockage. Initially was treated in community with topical steroid spray as rhino sinusitis and later on referred to ENT department. Treatment was given in form of major craniofacial surgery once diagnosis was confirmed. We discuss the presentation, investigation, differential diagnosis and management aspects. Case report also high lights the importance of early referral of patients with unilateral nasal mass to ENT department.
