Abstract EN
Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is a salivary gland tumor that may rarely occur in the nasal cavity.
It can be a clinical diagnostic dilemma in many instances due to many possible differential diagnoses.
We report the case of a 26-year-old female who presented with a 3-year history of a right nasal growth associated with ipsilateral nasal blockage, nasal pain, and rhinorrhea.
Radiological image showed a mild enhancing lesion in the right nasal cavity.
The patient underwent a lateral rhinotomy with wide excision of the mass.
Histopathological exam was consistent with PA.
Nasal PA is a rare entity and should be suspected as a diagnosis for intranasal tumors.
