- Otorhinolaryngology
- Pathology
Background:
- Inflammatory pseudotumor is a rare benign lesion of unknown origin.
- Commonly affects the orbit and paranasal sinuses in head and neck region.
Observation:
- A 64-year-old male presented with a three-month history of right nasal obstruction.
- Physical examination revealed a large nasal tumor originating from the nostril.
- CT scan showed a nasal fossa mass with normal paranasal sinuses.
Findings:
- Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of inflammatory pseudotumor.
- The lesion was successfully surgically removed using a midface degloving approach.
- The patient showed no signs of recurrence two years post-surgery.
Implications:
