Surgical management of sinonasal ACC can be challenging to the attending surgeon as they need to outweigh the decision between tumour clearance and morbidity of the patient. Multimodality treatment is the mainstay of treatment for sinonasal ACC and prognosis depends on the histological subtype of tumour, patient factor and treatment modalities opted.
