The ENT exam showed a bleeding red mass in left nasal fossa and CT joint to IRM revealed a tumoral process on that level and informed about its extension to adyacents structures (cavum, ethmoides, sphenoids and maxillary sinus). The biopsy was positive for cystic adenoid carcinoma. Our patient was operated by paralateronasal rhinotomy with removal of the tumor. One year later we found recurrence on the left orbital floor and maxilar sinus. The Oncology Department informed that it was not possible a treatment with radiotherapy or chemotherapy because the low sensitivity of that lesion those treatment.
