Title: Sinonasal NUT Carcinoma: Delayed Diagnosis Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and a Review of the Literature Cord-id: de338lm5 Document date: 2021_3_8
ID: de338lm5
Snippet: NUT carcinoma (NUT-C) is a relatively new malignancy that was recently listed in the 4th edition of the WHO Classification of Head and Neck Tumors in 2017. NUT carcinoma is a rare, aggressive, poorly differentiated carcinoma genetically defined by chromosomal rearrangement of the nuclear protein in testis (NUTM1) gene. The prognosis is extremely poor, with a mean survival < 1 year. Recent publications suggest a multimodality treatment approach. In the existing literature, only a few reports of s
Document: NUT carcinoma (NUT-C) is a relatively new malignancy that was recently listed in the 4th edition of the WHO Classification of Head and Neck Tumors in 2017. NUT carcinoma is a rare, aggressive, poorly differentiated carcinoma genetically defined by chromosomal rearrangement of the nuclear protein in testis (NUTM1) gene. The prognosis is extremely poor, with a mean survival < 1 year. Recent publications suggest a multimodality treatment approach. In the existing literature, only a few reports of sinonasal NUT-C have been reported. Sinonasal NUT-C is considered a very rare entity, but because of its recent inclusion as a head and neck malignancy, its true prevalence is unknown. We report the case of a 56-year-old woman with NUT-C of the sinonasal cavities. In the case reported, the coexistence of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related nasal congestion delayed the diagnosis of NUT-C. Clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment modalities are discussed together with a review of the literature.
