A recurrent mass in the nose can pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Even more so, if it exhibits rapid growth, displays unusual clinical features, is a rare histopathological diagnosis or if the patient is unavailable for regular follow-up. We present a case of a middle-aged retrovirus-positive man who underwent surgical removal of a recurrent nasal mass. Histopathology revealed a diagnosis of low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma, a rare entity in the sinonasal tract. Immunohistochemistry plays a crucial role in clinching the diagnosis, especially for lesions with fibrous and myxoid components. Early and complete surgical resection diminishes the likelihood of recurrence and metastasis.

Although rarer than their lateral orbital counterparts, dermoid cysts are part of any differential diagnosis of a midline nasal mass in the pediatric population. Here we present a case of a nasal dermoid with intracranial extension that presented as a mass appearing at the nasal-cheek junction. This atypical presentation for a nasal dermoid highlights the need for clinicians to remain vigilant and consider midline dermoid cyst as a diagnosis despite an off-midline position on the face.

Nasal schwannomas account for about 4% of head and neck schwannomas. We report a rare case of lateral nasal wall schwannoma presenting as a nasal mass in a 70-year-old man.

Inverted papilloma is a benign epithelial growth arising from the underlying stroma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. The pathogenesis of this lesion uptil date remains unclear. The tumor is known for its local invasiveness, rapid recurrence and link with malignancy. The recurrence rate of this tumor is usually too high that represents residual disease in most of the cases. Hence, it is mandate that the patient keeps a proper follow up on long term concerns. Here is one such patient, whose nasal mass seemed Antrochoanal polyp clinically but ended up as Inverted papilloma histopathologically.

Hemangiomas are very common benign vascular tumors of head and neck. Intraosseous hemangiomas are rare and very few cases of involvement of nasal bone have been found in literature. A slowly growing hard nasal mass should draw clinical suspicion and should be included in differential diagnosis as it carries with it the risk of uncontrollable hemorrhage during surgical procedures. Clinical examination and radiology are contributory but histopathological examination is confirmatory for diagnosis. Keywords: hemangiomas, intraosseous, nasal bone

<p>A thorough evaluation of nasal masses along with early management of the disease can prevent complications and further deterioration of the disease to a larger extent.<strong> </strong>Nasal mass occurring in the nose with symptoms of epistaxis is a sign of suspicion of malignancy. Patients can have variable presentations according to the site and extent of the infection. This article comprises of study done on 3 patients who presented to the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) out patient department with nasal mass with bleed. All three of the patients were subjected to clinical examination, diagnostic nasal endoscopy, radiological evaluation, surgical intervention and histopathological assessment. Thorough evaluation helps the operating surgeon to come to a specific diagnosis so that the chances of diagnosing rare cases does not get ruled out and helps the further deterioration of the disease.</p>

Primary oral cavity squamous cell carcinomas can rarely occur in anatomic vicinity of a dental implant in patients with no history of prior oral malignancy or premalignancy. This typically presents as a symptomatic oral gingival lesion. We report the unusual case of a 65-year-old former-smoker female with an implant-supported upper denture who developed an isolated nasal mass on exam, found to be a squamous cell carcinoma originating from the hard palate. Although very rare, an oral cavity cancer should be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of a nasal cavity mass in the setting of dental implants.

Background: Nasal mass is abnormal growth in the nose, which may be benign or malignant and may be unilateral or bilateral. Nasal masses in most patients present with complaints of nasal obstruction. It may cause nasal discharge, epistaxis and anosmia. A nasal mass can have various differential diagnosis which this study aims to explore. Material and Methods: A retrospective study of histopathologically diagnosed cases of nasal masses for a period 3 years from January 2017 to December 2019. Results: Out of 95 patients 55 (57.89%) male and 40 (42.10%) female, male to female ratio is 1.37:1 with a mean age of 23 years (range= 2-63 years). Most of the cases 94(98.95%) were non-malignant and only 1(1.05%) was malignant (Adenoid cystic carcinoma). Malignancy of sinonasal tract is rare. Conclusion: With this study we can say that nasal masses are more common in males than females, adults age groups affected more than elderly age groups. It is also inferred that most of the nasal masses are benign in nature and very few cases are malignant in nature.

<p class="abstract">Rosai Dorfman disease (RDD) is a histiocytic proliferative disorder with massive painless lymphadenopathy that though is rare yet has been reported more than seldom. Our report aimed to emphasis on a case with multifocal facial involvement with postsurgical recurrence, which had not yet been reported and an approach to alleviate the patient’s symptoms and avert a fatal outcome. This study was a case report and literature review. A 19 year old female presented with swelling involving right sided cheek, periorbital region and bilateral nasal cavity with palatal perforation for last 6 months. She had a past history of debulking of orbital RDD. Contrast enhanced computed tomography revealed an extraconal mass of the right orbit and left nasal mass extending to the nasopharynx. Biopsy taken from the nasal masses showed RDD on histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Though the disease was self-resolving, this patient required radiotherapy as debulking was not sufficient for its multifocal presentation and was followed by palatal reconstruction.</p>
