Abstract EN
This case report describes a unique nasal mass that was difficult to diagnose clinically and histologically.
The patient was a middle-aged man employed as a metalworker, and he presented with a unilateral nasal obstruction and a mass arising from the right middle meatus.
After a series of investigations, he underwent right-sided sphenoethmoidectomy with excision of a nasal lesion.
The surgical specimen presented a major diagnostic challenge for the pathologists and clinicians involved.
A series of discussions amongst two different head and neck expert teams combined with detailed clinicopathological correlation resulted in a diagnosis of a granulomatous lesion or pseudotumour related to the ingestion of water-soluble cutting oils, or “Suds oil,” as they are more commonly called.
Although occupational exposures to certain inhalants, such as wood dust and formaldehyde, are well-known risk factors for sinonasal lesions, here we present a rare association between a sinonasal lesion and another inhalant, Suds oil, that has not been previously reported in the literature.
