Nose and Nasal Cavity

The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane.

Nasal leiomyoma, a rare smooth muscle tumor, can cause nasal obstruction and bleeding. Endoscopic excision offers a good prognosis with no recurrence observed in this case.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Leiomyoma is a benign smooth muscle tumor.
  • Nasal leiomyoma is an exceptionally rare occurrence.

Observation:

  • A 19-year-old male presented with recurrent nasal obstruction and epistaxis.
  • Nasoendoscopy revealed a bleeding, polypoidal mass in the right middle meatus.
  • CT scan showed an opacity obscuring the right middle turbinate.

Findings:

  • Endoscopic excision of the nasal leiomyoma was performed.
  • No recurrence was noted one year post-surgery.

Implications:

  • Nasal leiomyoma, though rare, should be considered in differential diagnosis of nasal masses.
  • Complete endoscopic excision is an effective treatment with a favorable prognosis.
