This study details a rare human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated multiphenotypic sinonasal carcinoma (HMSC) case. The patient had two distinct tumors driven by HPV45, a novel finding for HMSC.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Pathology
- Virology
Background:
- Human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated multiphenotypic sinonasal carcinoma (HMSC) is a recently defined head and neck cancer.
- HMSC often presents with a high-grade histological appearance but an indolent clinical course.
- Co-occurrence of distinct neoplasms within a single HMSC is unusual.
