Leiomyoma is a benign tumor showing smooth muscle differentiation. Leiomyoma in the nasal cavity is a rare entity which can present with common nasal symptoms. We report a case of 19 years old male patient with nasal leiomyoma. The patient presented with recurrent episodes of nasal obstruction and epistaxis. On nasoendoscopy, there was a single grayish polypoidal mass in the right middle meatus which bled on touch. CT-scan of nose and paranasal sinus showed homogenous opacity indistinguishable from the right middle turbinate. The mass was excised endoscopically. There is no recurrence a year after the endoscopic excision of the nasal leiomyoma. Nasal leiomyoma carries a good prognosis after complete excision.Key words: endoscopic excision, leiomyoma, nasal cavity

ABSTRACT Myoepithelioma is a rare tumor of the salivary glands. Only three cases of myoepithelioma in the nasal cavity have been reported. A 29-year-old male presented to us with epistaxis and nasal obstruction. There was a fleshy mass occupying the right middle meatus. Biopsy showed evidence of myoepithelioma and an endoscopic excision of the tumor was done. Histopathological examination of the resected tumor was consistent with myoepithelioma. Due to its rarity, the nature of the tumor is not known and regular follow-ups are needed for early detection of recurrence and malignancy. How to cite this article Ramesh D, Khong GC, Sumathi V.

Background. Concha bullosa (CB) is pneumatization of the middle turbinate and one of the most common anatomic variation of the sinonasal region. It is found in about 25% of the population. Middle meatus obstructive syndrome (MMOS) is, usually connected with CB. The main symptoms of this syndrome are headaches, impaired nasal breathing and hyposmia. Headache is the most common symptom and it may occur due to contact between a CB and other structures of the nasal cavity. Case report. We presented a case of 32 year-old-woman with headaches, located in the orbital and the left frontal region. The headaches were intermittent and corresponding to the nasal cycle. After neurologic and alergic examination, endoscopic nasal examination demonstrated a septal deviation to the right side and a large middle turbinate in the left side of the nasal cavity. Coronal computerized tomography (CT) of the paranasal sinuses demonstrated the septal deformation and pneumatization of the left middle turbinate. Diagnosis was confirmed by lidocaine test. In the functional endoscopic surgery (FESS), the lateral lamela of the anterior CB was removed. At the same time, the septoplasty was done. At the control examination, the patient was without symptoms. Conclusion. Although CB is the common anatomic variation of the nasal cavity, MMOS is rare. Headache (rhinogenic origin) is the most important symptom. Surgical treatment is the lateral resection of the CB in the FESS technique and the septoplasty.

Abstract Adenomyoma is a benign tumor composed of smooth muscle and benign endometrium. These tumors typically originate within the uterus. An extrauterine adenomyoma is a rare entity. We report a uterine-like mass consistent with an extrauterine adenomyoma presenting 22 years following a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The mass was pear-shaped with uterine-type smooth muscle and a cavity lined by functional endometrial glands and stroma. To our knowledge, only 4 other cases of an extrauterine uterine-like mass are reported in the literature. Three involved the ovary, while one was located adjacent to the broad ligament with normal pelvic organs. Although none of these other uterus-like masses were described as adenomyomas with uterine-like features, the histologic findings are strikingly similar. An understanding of the müllerian system suggests that either an embryologic malformation or a differential multipotentiality existing in the subcoelomic tissues in response to hormonal stimulation results in a supernumerary müllerian structure like a uterus, as observed in this case. The presence of endometrial glands and stroma in the mass confirms that the tissues in this mass are hormonally responsive. It is most likely that this uterine-like mass arose from the tissues of the secondary müllerian system in response to estrogenic stimulation.

Schwannomas are benign tumors arising from Schwann cells of myelinated nerve sheath. Schwannomas of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are rare, with only 4% occurrence. We report a case of a 48-year-old lady who presented with 1-year history of progressively worsening left nasal blockage. Rigid nasoendoscopy showed a smooth, globular mass occupying the left nasal cavity. The mass arose from the left nasal septum and impinged on the anterior part of the middle turbinate posteriorly and inferior turbinate anteriorly. Computed tomography of the paranasal sinuses showed a 3.8 × 1.8 x 3.7- cm enhancing soft tissue density in the left nostril. The mass obliterated the left nasal cavity and caused deviation of the septum to the right. The patient underwent an endoscopic excision and histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of Schwannoma. Postoperative recovery was uneventful and no recurrence was seen in the follow-up period. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.18(3) 2019 p.660-662

Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is a salivary gland tumor that may rarely occur in the nasal cavity. It can be a clinical diagnostic dilemma in many instances due to many possible differential diagnoses. We report the case of a 26-year-old female who presented with a 3-year history of a right nasal growth associated with ipsilateral nasal blockage, nasal pain, and rhinorrhea. Radiological image showed a mild enhancing lesion in the right nasal cavity. The patient underwent a lateral rhinotomy with wide excision of the mass. Histopathological exam was consistent with PA. Nasal PA is a rare entity and should be suspected as a diagnosis for intranasal tumors.

ABSTRACT Choanal polyp is the term used for benign, solitary soft tissue mass which extend toward the junction of nasal cavity and nasopharynx, i.e. choana. We report a rare case of choanal polyp arising from the middle turbinate and its successful treatment by endoscopic surgery. The complete resection of choanal polyp at the site of origin using an endoscope is usually sufficient and carries good prognosis without recurrence. How to cite this article Gupta M, Singh S.

ABSTRACT Objective To highlight an interesting and a rare case of two rhinoliths in a single nasal cavity of an elderly male patient, mimicking fungal sinusitis or malignancy. To emphasize that rhinolith has to be considered in the differential diagnosis of unilateral nasal mass even in the elderly. Case report A 55-year-old man presented with a right-sided nasal obstruction, foul-smelling nasal discharge and a mass in the right nasal cavity of 6 months duration. Endoscopic examination revealed a gritty, blackish brown mass filling the entire right nasal cavity. A clinical differential diagnosis of malignancy or fungal sinusitis was made. CT scan of paranasal sinus was suggestive of fungal sinusitis following which patient was posted for biopsy. Intraoperatively, patient was found to have two separate masses in the right nasal cavity which were removed. We found a septal perforation adjoining the area where the rhinolith was impacted, with septum pushed laterally and adherent to middle turbinate. However, there were no features suggestive of malignancy. Histopathological examination also ruled out malignancy and confirmed a vegetable foreign body with calcification around an acellular material. Conclusion Rhinolith, though rare should be considered in the differential diagnosis of unilateral nasal mass in the elderly.

Inflammatory pseudotumor (IP) is a clinically aggressive but histologically benign condition of unknown cause. It rarely appears in the nasal cavity and sinuses. Here, we describe a 24-year-old female with the main symptom of right nasal obstruction. Examinations showed dilation in the right maxillary sinus and a pale neoplasm in the nasal cavity. The neoplasm was completely excised under endoscope. Postoperative pathology showed significant proliferation of plasma cells and lymphocytes, indicating the presence of IP. No recurrence was found during 20 months of follow-up. Only 28 cases (10 males and 18 females, average 41.04 years) have been reported on Pubmed. The main clinical manifestations were nasal obstruction, epistaxis, facial swelling and pain, eyeball protrusion, diplopia, and other ocular symptoms. Inflammatory pseudotumor always erodes the surrounding bone and requires active treatments. Surgery is the optimal option with a good prognosis.

Maxillary air sinus opens in hiatus semilunaris of middle meatus of the nasal cavity. Drainage of sinus should happen through a natural orifice. That is mandatory because there are cases where there is an additional opening of sinus posterior to the hiatus semilunaris. In this case, there may be recirculation of mucus between natural and accessory opening leading to complications and recurrence of the patient’s problem during various endoscopic procedures. So noting this high significance of accessory opening, the present study was conducted. Total of 50 specimens (27 were from the right side, and 23 were from the left side) was studied. Presence of accessory opening of maxillary air sinus was noted. Position of the opening was noted. The shape of the opening was noted. The diameter of the accessory opening was measured using Sliding Vernier Caliper. Observations on the above parameters show the accessory opening of maxillary air sinus was present in 21 specimens out of a total of 50 specimens (42%). Typical Shape of the opening on the left side was Circular and on the right side was Oval. The average diameter of the opening on the right side was 24mm and on the left side was 46mm. So definitely significance of the accessory opening of maxillary air sinus was found. That’s why surgeons, especially, Otorhinolaryngologists, should note and explore the exact position of the accessory opening of maxillary air sinus, during various sinus surgeries.

<p class="abstract">Hemangiomas are benign accumulations of blood vessels which occur in any tissue that includes vascular components like skin, mucosa, muscles, glands and bones. Hemangiomas arising in the nose are rare and account for less than 20% of all benign tumors of nose. They usually arise from inferior turbinate, middle turbinate and vomer. We present a case of cavernous hemangioma of left nasal cavity arising from mucosa of left middle meatus mimicking an antrochoanal polyp. Hemangiomas arising from middle meatus are extremely rare and to our knowledge this is the second case reported in literature.</p><p> </p>
