Malignant mixed tumor of the nasal cavity.
Parotid gland is the most common location of malignant mixed tumors. Three different subtypes of these tumors exist: carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma, carcinosarcoma, and metastasizing mixed tumor. Carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma is by far the most common subtype. Although unusual sites of these tumors have been published, we report an extremely rare case of a malignant mixed tumor located in the nasal cavity.
