A 2-year-old mare of an unknown breed was referred to the clinic due to undetermined breathing difficulties. Physical examination revealed painless swelling rostral to the nasoincisive notch and a large, firm mass protruding from the left nostril. Radiographic examination of the head revealed a mass occupying the left nasal cavity and a displaced and hypoplastic last premolar of the left maxilla. The CT scan showed a well-demarcated heterogeneous mass measuring 22 × 9 × 5 cm (length × height × width) in the left nasal cavity attached to the roots of the displaced tooth and conchae. The surgery was performed on the standing horse. Firstly, due to the oblique position of the displaced tooth, the extraction was performed extra-orally through the trephination and repulsion of the maxillary bone. In the next step, a direct surgical approach was chosen for the caudal part of the mass via the osteotomy of the left nasal bone. The mass was bluntly separated from the conchae and removed through the nostril using Fergusson forceps. The histopathological characteristics of the mass led to the diagnosis of ossifying fibroma. The horse recovered completely in seven months, without recurrence after two years.

Osseous hemangioma typically occurs in the vertebral column or skull bones. It it is extremely rare in the nasal bone. Only nine cases originating in the turbinate and maxillary bone have been reported in the English and Korean literature. Herein, we present the case of a 51-year-old women with a dorsum mass to share our experience with intraosseous hemangioma successfully removed and reconstructed by an endonasal approach.

AbstractObjective:This study compared the results of nasal Staphylococcus aureus carriage and nasal cytology in men with and without a moustache.Methods:The study group comprised 118 adult men with a moustache, and the control group consisted of 123 adult men without a moustache. Samples were taken from the participants' right nasal cavity for cytology and from the left nasal cavity for microbiology.Results:The results for S aureus were positive in 19.5 per cent (n = 23) of participants with a moustache and in 20.3 per cent (n = 25) of men without a moustache. This difference was not significant (p > 0.05). However, nasal cytology revealed rich eosinophil clusters in participants with a moustache.Conclusion:The presence or absence of a moustache had no effect on nasal S aureus colonisation. However, further research is needed to understand whether the presence of a moustache increases the risk of allergic or non-allergic rhinitis.

This article presents the morphometric rationale for changes in the nasal bone of a Bactrian camel in an age aspect. The nasal bone is present in the Bactrian camel, as in all farm and domestic animals, with a flat, paired bone, which is involved in the formation of the roof of the nasal cavity. Anatomically on the nasal bone, the outer and inner surfaces are distinguished. Changes in the length and width of the left and right sides of the interosseous sutures of the nasal bone in the Bactrian camel are similar in age.

Abstract- Nasal foreign bodies are usually received in otolaryngology practice. Although more frequently seen in pediatric patients, also they can affect adults, specifically those with mental retardation or any psychiatric problems. We presented an unusual case of the nasal foreign body, an eraser rhinolith in a 17-year-old boy with mild mental retardation presented with long-lasting nasal obstruction but no chronic infection or epistaxis. Computed tomography revealed a peripherally calcified sub-mucosal round mass in the left nasal cavity. After surgery, a round shape foreign body that looked like an eraser piece was removed from the nasal cavity. Rhinolith can present just with nasal obstruction. With properly diagnosed and appropriate surgery, all rhinoliths can be removed and complication of extraction can be minimized

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

We describe the case of a 65-year-old woman who presented with left nasal obstruction. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed the presence of a soft-tissue mass that had obliterated the left nasal cavity. The mass was completely excised via an endoscopic approach. Histopathologic examination identified the tumor as an ossifying fibrosarcoma. The patient recovered uneventfully and remained free of disease at the 2-year postoperative follow-up. To the best of our knowledge, no case of an ossifying fibrosarcoma of the nasal cavity has been previously reported in the English-language literature. We discuss the features of this case and the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of fibrosarcomas of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.

Abstract A two-year old Jack Russell Terrier female with left-sided epistaxis was brought to the Clinic of the Bucharest Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. Endoscopy of the left nasal cavity revealed a cauliflower-like mass. Cytological and histopathological features were specific to canine transmissible venereal tumour (CTVT). Tumor tissue showed positive immunoreactivity to anti-vimentin monoclonal antibody (90%) and Ki67 (35%) and samples were negative for anti-cytokeratin monoclonal antibody. Chemotherapy with vincristine sulphate at a dose of 0.025 mg/kg i.v./week for 6 administrations was successful. This paper presents a primary form of nasal CTVT in a Jack Russell Terrier female.

✓ The benign osteoblastoma is rarely seen as a tumor of the facial bone in infancy or early childhood. Only five cases with nasal involvement have been reported in the literature. The authors present a case of osteoblastoma of the nasal cavity, the nasal bone, the ethmoid sinus, and the anterior cranial base. This 3-year-old girl presented with a tumor surrounding the left medial canthus. Imaging studies, including x-ray films, computerized tomography scans, magnetic resonance images, a 99mTc-scintigram, and angiograms, confirmed the location of the tumor. A biopsy specimen of tumor was obtained intranasally and the pathological diagnosis was an osteoblastic tumor suggestive of osteoblastoma. Although the tumor margin was well defined on the radiological images, it was difficult to determine the exact margin during the operation. Therefore, it is important to show how to excise the tumor completely under direct view. With the use of a “dismasking flap,” it was possible to resect the benign osteoblastoma completely from the nasal cavity, even though it extended into the orbit, the maxilla, and the anterior cranial base.

AbstractA case of IgD myeloma in a 54-year-old male with a long-standing history of extramedullary plasmacytoma involving the larynx is reported.The patient was treated with radiation therapy and laryngectomy. Twelve years later, he complained of nasal bleeding. On examination he was found to have large masses in the left nasal cavity and in the left supraclavicular region. Histological examination of both lesions showed plasmacytoma. Serum immunoglobulin studies revealed an IgD monoclonal spike of the lambda type. Bence-Jones protein was present. Using the immunoperoxidase staining technique, cytoplasmic monoclonal IgD was detected.
