  • Common head and neck paraganglioma sites include the jugular bulb, vagal body, and carotid artery bifurcation.
  • Nasal and paranasal sinus paragangliomas are exceptionally rare, with few documented primary cases.

Observation:

  • This case report details a rare instance of a nasal paraganglioma.
  • The tumor presented with symptoms of nasal obstruction, profuse epistaxis, and facial swelling.
  • Nasal paragangliomas are characterized as slow-growing tumors.

Findings:

  • The study highlights the rarity of nasal paragangliomas.
  • It emphasizes the diagnostic and therapeutic considerations for this specific tumor type.
  • Complete surgical excision is presented as the standard curative treatment.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of nasal paragangliomas is crucial for timely diagnosis.
  • This case contributes to the limited literature on sinonasal paragangliomas.
  • Effective management relies on accurate diagnosis and complete surgical resection.
