Abstract: We report a case of radiation-induced
myofibroblastoma of the right nasal cavity in a patient with a remote
history of radiotherapy for pediatric retinoblastoma. The patient
required maxillectomy and ethmoidectomy. To our knowledge, a rare number
of cases have been reported in this location.
Key Clinical Message: Extramammary-myofibroblastomas are rare
tumors, especially in the head and neck region. The long-term prognosis
of these tumors post-excision is favorable. The patient remains under
close surveillance but has yet to present with clinical recurrence.
Keywords: Extramammary-myofibroblastoma, radiation-induced
lesion, retinoblastoma, nasal sinus tumor
