title: Alveolar soft part sarcoma of the nasal cavity: report of a case and a review of the literature.
abstract: A case of alveolar soft part sarcoma of the nasal cavity is presented. Alveolar soft part sarcoma is a rare malignant neoplasm, which often affects females (ratio 2 to 1) in their second decade. It occurs most frequently in the extremities, with an unusual predilection to involve the right side of the body. Excluding the orbit, only a few cases have been reported in the head and neck area. We present the first reported case of alveolar soft part sarcoma limited to the nasal chamber.
