The authors report a case of paraganglioma of the skull base presenting as nasal polyps. A 29-year-old patient presented with epistaxis and was found to have nasal polyps. The patient underwent a nasal polypectomy. After pathology showed an unusual appearance, the mass was subsequently excised endoscopically using radiofrequency coblation, and it was found to be originating from the skull base. The diagnosis was made using a combination of clinical findings, radiology, and histopathology examination. It is important to consider paraganglioma in the differential diagnosis of unusual tumors of the nose and skull base.
作者报告了一例颅底副神经节瘤表现为鼻息肉的病例。一名 29 岁的患者因鼻出血就诊，发现有鼻息肉。患者接受了鼻息肉切除术。病理检查显示病变外观异常，随后使用射频等离子消融术经内镜切除肿块，发现肿块起源于颅底。通过临床发现、影像学和组织病理学检查相结合做出了诊断。在鉴别诊断鼻腔和颅底不常见肿瘤时，需要考虑副神经节瘤。
