Chondromas are benign lesions composed of mature hyaline cartilage. A nasal chondroma is an infrequent entity and it arises rarely from the nasal septum. Most of the nasal chondroma cases in the medical literature have originated from the posterior part of the septum. This article presents a rare case of nasal chondroma. A 47-year-old female patient consulted to our clinic complaining of a lump of medium hardness at the tip of her nose. Surgery revealed a nasal chondroma, localized at the domal alar cartilage. The case was presented in detail, and the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of nasal chondromas were discussed in light of relevant literature.
软骨瘤是由成熟透明软骨构成的良性病变。鼻软骨瘤是一种罕见的疾病，很少起源于鼻中隔。医学文献中大多数鼻软骨瘤病例起源于鼻中隔后部。本文报告了一例罕见的鼻软骨瘤病例。一名47岁女性患者因鼻尖有一个中等硬度的肿块前来我院就诊。手术发现一个鼻软骨瘤，位于鼻翼软骨穹窿部。详细介绍了该病例，并结合相关文献对鼻软骨瘤的诊断、治疗及随访进行了讨论。
