    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pediatric Pathology
    • Medical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Nasal polymorphic reticulosis is a rare lymphoid proliferation affecting the sinonasal tract.
    • Pediatric cases are exceptionally uncommon, making diagnosis and management challenging.
    • Understanding the clinical course and treatment response in children is crucial for improving outcomes.

    Observation:

    • An 11-year-old boy presented with nasal stuffiness, pain, nasal septum perforation, and hard palate ulceration.
    • Tomography revealed an irregular nasal cavity tumor.
    • Histopathology confirmed atypical lymphoreticular cells within inflammatory infiltrates.

    Findings:

    • The patient received radiation therapy followed by combination chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, mercaptopurine, methotrexate sodium).
    • Initial response included palate lesion regression and a 12-month symptom-free period.
    • The disease ultimately progressed to disseminated polymorphic reticulosis, leading to the patient's death 1.5 years post-diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the rarity and potential severity of nasal polymorphic reticulosis in pediatric patients.
    • The aggressive clinical course, despite initial treatment response, suggests the need for further research into effective pediatric management strategies.
    • This report contributes to the limited literature on pediatric sinonasal lymphoid neoplasms, aiding future diagnostic and therapeutic efforts.
