It is also known as low-grade sinonasal sarcoma with neural and myogenic features.[2]

Prognosis:
- No (far away) metastasis or death in a series of 28 patients.[3]
Gross
- Usually ethmoid sinus and/or nasal cavity.[3]
Microscopic
Features:
- Bland hypercellular stroma typically without many mitoses.
- Invaginating glandular epithelium.
Note:
- May have rhabdomyoblastic differentiation - case report.[4]
