Osteosarcomas usually occur as secondary tumors after radiation therapy or chemotherapy. Without a history of irradiation to the head and neck area, primary osteosarcoma of the turbinate is extremely rare. We report here a rare case of primary turbinate osteosarcoma presenting as a relatively small, well-circumscribed, turbinate mass. Its appearance mimicked a benign nasal mass like mucocele and polyp. We also reviewed the previously reported cases of tumor arising from turbinate.
成骨肉瘤通常在放射治疗或化学治疗后作为继发性肿瘤发生。在没有头颈部照射史的情况下，鼻甲原发性成骨肉瘤极为罕见。我们在此报告一例罕见的鼻甲原发性成骨肉瘤，表现为相对较小的、边界清楚的鼻甲肿块。其外观类似于黏液囊肿和息肉等良性鼻部肿块。我们还回顾了之前报道的来自鼻甲的肿瘤病例。
