Post-nasal space oncocytoma: a different approach to a rare tumour.

Oncocytomas are rare tumours that occur predominantly in the major salivary glands, particularly the parotid of older individuals. We present the exceptionally rare occurrence of an oncocytoma in the post-nasal space and its treatment for the first time via a Le Fort I osteotomy. The potential for local spread to the surrounding skull base makes it vital to achieve good oncological clearance. We found that this was possible using the Le Fort I technique and would recommend that this approach should be considered in future, when approaching such lesions.
