Ameloblastomas are locally aggressive gnathic tumors with a high propensity for recurrence. Presentation of an ameloblastoma exclusively in the sinonasal tract is extremely rare, with few reported cases in the literature. Management involves surgical excision and close follow-up. We report a case in which the patient had complete unilateral nasal obstruction caused by an ameloblastoma. The tumor was completely excised endoscopically, and at the 12-month follow-up, there was no evidence of recurrence.
成釉细胞瘤是具有高复发倾向的局部侵袭性颌骨肿瘤。成釉细胞瘤仅发生于鼻窦极为罕见,文献中报道的病例很少。治疗方法包括手术切除和密切随访。我们报告一例患者因成釉细胞瘤导致完全性单侧鼻塞。肿瘤通过内镜完全切除,在12个月的随访中,没有复发迹象。
