Abstract
Sino nasal malignancies account for only 0.2-0.8% of all malignancies and undifferentiated carcinoma is rare malignant tumour of sinonasal tract, with extremely poor prognosis. We report a case of sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma which we managed by surgery followed by post-operative radiotherapy with concomitant platinum-based chemotherapy. Although the overall survival is about 20% at 5 years and there are frequent recurrences combined modality treatment is the best management option available at present.
