Objective:
Managing benign tumours of the external nose involves balancing optimal excision with the preservation of nasal function and aesthetics. This study aims to identify histologic diagnoses, surgical strategies and post-operative outcomes.
Methods:
A retrospective cohort study was conducted from November 2006 to March 2023. All surgeries were performed by a single surgeon.
Results:
The included 24 patients with a mean age of 32.7 ± 19.2 years (range, 3 months to 65 years) at diagnosis. Tumours were predominantly located on the nasal dorsum (n = 11). Among the 11 histologic tumour types, haemangioma was the most common (n = 8). Most patients (70.8 per cent) underwent an open rhinoplasty approach. Recurrence occurred in four patients (16.7 per cent).
Conclusion:
Benign tumours of the external nose exhibit diverse pathology. Partial tumour removal may be considered in extensive cases with skin involvement for preserving nasal aesthetics. A tailored surgical strategy is crucial for managing these rare tumours.
