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
