Concha bullosa that is a pneumatization of the middle turbinate is a common anatomic variant; the obstruction of its ostium may lead to mucocele and even pyocele after infection of retained secretion. Although the condition is rare, mucopyocele of concha bullosa may be presented as a large nasal mass. However, the diagnosis could be suspected from its characteristic radiologic signs. We present an adolescent boy with mucopyocele of the concha bullosa.
泡状鼻甲是中鼻甲的气化,是一种常见的解剖变异;其窦口阻塞可导致黏液囊肿,潴留分泌物感染后甚至可形成脓性囊肿。尽管这种情况罕见,但泡状鼻甲黏液脓性囊肿可表现为巨大鼻肿物。然而,根据其特征性影像学表现可怀疑诊断。我们报告一例患有泡状鼻甲黏液脓性囊肿的青少年男性。
