Abstract
- Objective: Sinonasal adenocarcinoma is a tumor typically associated with exposure to occupational carcinogens. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) published several data in order to classify carcinogenic power of physical-chemical agents as far as sinonasal cancer is concerned.<br />Materials and Methods: We report a clinical case of sinonasal adenocarcinoma observed in an 84 years old patient, without clinical history of past exposure to carcinogens, smoke and alcohol.<br />Results and Conclusions: A sinonasal adenocarcinoma in a patient without risk factors is extremely rare. It is very important to recognize this cancer at an early stage in order to give better survival rates to the patients.<br />Key Words: Carcinogens, Intestinal-type adenocarcinoma, Sinonasal cancer.
