A rare case of pleomorphic adenoma of lateral wall of nasal cavity. With special reference of statistical observation of pleomorphic adenoma of nasal cavity in Japan.

Abstract Background Pleomorphic adenomas are common tumors of major salivary glands. However, the localization in nasal cavity originating from the lateral wall is exceptional. This work is a presentation of a very rare case that presents the diagnostic challenge, considering the multitude of malignant and benign differential diagnosis. A discussion of surgical approach, and the possible complications associated with it. Case presentation This is the case of an invasive nasal pleomorphic adenoma in a 48-year-old patient; the patient underwent complete excision through combined left lateral rhinotomy and functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Conclusion Pleomorphic adenoma is a very rare benign tumor of the nasal cavity. Clinical diagnosis is generally difficult regarding the multitude of differential diagnosis. Confirmation is established upon histological aspect. This is a case of a very rare large pleomorphic adenoma of nasal cavity originating from the lateral wall, associated with differential diagnosis, and surgical approaches, as well as perceivable complications. The strength of this work is to point out the importance of complete surgical extirpation and thorough follow-up to prevent recurrences and malignant transformation.

Rare Case Report

ABSTRACT Pleomorphic adenomas are most common benign tumor of the major salivary gland, mainly found in parotid gland. Pleomorphic adenomas may also occur in the minor salivary glands of the hard and soft palate. Few cases are also diagnosed in various parts of pharynx and larynx. Intranasal pleomorphic adenomas can arise either from septum or lateral nasal wall. They are very rare entity and occasionally misdiagnosed due to their atypical histopathology. We present a rare case of pleomorphic adenoma diagnosed in middle-aged female originating from lateral wall of right nasal cavity. How to cite this article Joshi S, Bhuie HS, Mathur N, Verma H.

ABSTRACT Pleomorphic adenomas occurring in the nasal cavity are rarely encountered; nevertheless, there is abundance of minor seromucinous glands in that region. Most cases present with a painless, slowly progressing unilateral nasal obstruction, a nasal mass, and epistaxis. Herewith, we present an unusual case of pleomorphic adenoma arising from the lateral wall of the right nasal cavity in a 41-year-old male who complained of right nasal obstruction with no history of epistaxis. Rigid nasal endoscopy revealed a swelling continuous with right inferior concha. Computed tomography showed a well-defined, soft tissue mass in the right nasal cavity. The lesion was completely excised endoscopically. Histopathology confirmed a pleomorphic adenoma consisting of epithelial and mesenchymal elements. Wide exposure is crucial for complete excision with negative margins to achieve positive outcome and to prevent recurrence. How to cite this article Pandey AK, Bhardwaj A, Maithani T, Rathi S.

Ectopic Tooth

Among the ways to approach cases of ectopic teeth, the surgical approach is a valid option and should be considered, since it is considered simple and it permits direct visualization and a rapid recovery. The aim of this article is to report a rare case of ectopic tooth in the lateral wall of the nasal cavity caused by trauma in the maxillofacial region in childhood, and to describe its clinical and imaging characteristics as well as ways of treatment and surgical aspects. A 25-year-old woman was seen at the clinic of Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology due to the presence of a foreign body in the nose. A treatment plan was elaborated based on physical and radiographic examination. The tooth was removed by a surgical approach and the patient underwent esthetic rehabilitation. Surgical treatment of ectopic teeth provides a good and satisfactory postoperative result, is simple and mostly without complications. Ectopic teeth are rare, and the professional should be able to perform the diagnosis, indication and planning of treatment, as well as its execution. Surgical treatment is an option that produced an effective result in the present case.Descriptors: Mouth; Tooth, Impacted; Ambulatory Surgical Procedures.ReferencesVerma RK, Bakshi J, Panda NK.

<p class="abstract"><span lang="EN-IN">Pleomorphic adenomas are benign tumors that are uncommon in the nasal cavity. However, they can rarely arise from septum, erode hard palate and thus masquerade a bone tumor. We report one such rare case of septal pleomorphic adenoma with hard palatal extension and ossification. A combined endoscopic intranasal and transpalatal surgical approach was performed and tumor was excised completely. A high index of clinical suspicion and biopsy can diagnose such swellings.</span></p>

Pleomorphic adenomas arising in the nasal cavity are extremely uncommon, despite the large numbers of minor mucous and serous glands in the region. We present a rare case of a pleomorphic adenoma arising from the right nasal vestibule in a 65-year-old man complained of right nasal obstruction for 6 months. Anterior rhinoscopy showed a reddish, firm, polypoid mass in right nasal cavity which is free from the nasal septum and from the inferior tubinate but it was attached to the nasal vestibule. Flexible nasal endoscopy showed no extension of the mass towards the posterior choana or nasopharynx. The mass was completely excised from the nasal vestibule through intranasal approach and sent for histology which confirmed a pleomorphic adenoma with a predominant stromal component. The main treatment modality is surgical resection with histological clear margins. Recurrences and evolution to malignancy are not frequent, but long tern follow-up is recommended. In our case, the patient demonstrated satisfactory cosmetic results with no evidence of recurrence. Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol; April 2017; 23(1): 88-91
