Leiomyomas are benign smooth-muscle tumors that are common in the alimentary tract, uterus, skin, and subcutaneous tissue. They are very uncommon in the upper respiratory tract and rare in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. To the best of our knowledge, only 23 such cases have heretofore been published in the literature. We report 2 new cases of sinonasal leiomyoma that originated at different sites in the nasal cavity. We also discuss the various investigative and therapeutic modalities available.
平滑肌瘤是一种良性平滑肌肿瘤，常见于消化道、子宫、皮肤和皮下组织。它们在上呼吸道非常罕见，在鼻腔和鼻窦中也很少见。据我们所知，迄今为止文献中仅发表过23例此类病例。我们报告2例起源于鼻腔不同部位的鼻窦平滑肌瘤新病例。我们还讨论了现有的各种检查和治疗方法。
