AbstractAngioleiomyoma of the nasal cavity is an extremely rare tumour (Sawada, 1990). We present an unusual case of angioleiomyoma arising from the lateral wall of the nasal cavity without any symptoms of pain or epistaxis. Another unusual feature was that the tumour clinically resembled an inverted papilloma.

Juvenile Angiofibroma

A 10-year-old boy presented with left-sided nasal obstruction and epistaxis. Endoscopic evaluation revealed a polypoid mass in the vestibule arising from the lateral wall of the nasal cavity anteroinferior to the left inferior turbinate. Computed tomography (CT) scan showed a soft tissue opacity in the vestibule of the left nasal cavity. After the endoscopic excision of the mass, postoperative and histopathological analyses confirmed the diagnosis of an angiofibroma.

​​The study aims to discuss a case of an uncommonly sited rare tumour causing nasal obstruction and a literature review of angioleiomyomas in the nose. A 64-year-old woman presented with blockage of the right nostril, associated with a visible swelling on the undersurface of the alar cartilage, in the lateral wall of the nasal cavity. Anterior rhinoscopy highlighted a 1 cm cystic lesion, with areas of firmness, present at the mucocutaneous junction with a broad base. It was not attached to the underlying cartilage. There was no ulceration or bleeding on palpation. Nasal endoscopy did not show any extension further and the rest of the nasal cavity was clear. Endonasal resection of the tumour using a two-handed technique. This paper highlights not only the importance of considering angioleiomyomas within a differential diagnosis of nasal obstructions but also the uncommon site.​

Schwannomas are rare slow-growing benign tumors arising from Schwann cells lining the nerve sheaths. Head and neck schwannomas account for about one-third of all cases, and only 4% of them arise from the sinonasal tract. Its diagnosis is based on histology and immunohistochemistry. Complete surgical excision is the most recommended treatment option, and endoscopic surgery has been widely performed in recent years. In this study, we presented a case of a 55-year-old female with schwannoma arising from the lateral wall of the nasal cavity, causing epistaxis and rhinorrhea. The patient underwent endoscopic excision with prompt resolution of symptoms. The reported cases of nasal cavity schwannoma were reviewed and summarized for educational purposes.

<p>Inverted papilloma is a benign neoplasm of nasal cavity arising from the lateral wall. Human papilloma virus (HPV) is the main causative agent. Definitive treatment is surgery and there are number of approaches. Literature shows that endoscopic approach has less recurrence rate. We report a case of inverted papilloma managed by endoscopic resection. </p>

Schwannoma is a benign solitary neoplasm emerging from the Schwann cells of the peripheral, cranial and autonomic nerves. Approximately 25 to 45% of schwannomas occur in the head and neck region. However, schwannoma in the subfrontal area, nasal cavity or paranasal sinus is very rare and accounts for only 4% of these neoplasms. We experienced a case of schwannoma in the subfrontal area and left nasal cavity in a 74-year-old man who complained of recurrent rhinorrhea. We report this unusual case of schwannoma with a review of the literature.

Malignant Lesions

Heterotopic pancreas is a congenital pathology of the gastrointestinal tract, particularly rare in the esophagus. Both symptomatology and findings during preoperative examinations are non-specific and therefore do not often lead to an accurate diagnosis, which is usually revealed only by histopathological assessment of a resected specimen. We report an unusual case of a patient suffering from severe dysphagia caused by heterotopic pancreas in the distal esophagus with chronic inflammation and foci of premalignant changes. This article also reviews 14 adult cases of heterotopic pancreas in the esophagus previously reported in the literature, with the aim of determining the clinical features of this disease and possible complications including rare premalignant lesions and malignant transformation. Especially with regard to those complications, we suggest that both symptomatic and incidentally found asymptomatic lesions should be resected.
