A 59-year-old man presented with unilateral nasal congestion and discharge. Clinical examination revealed a mass in the floor of the nasal cavity. Sinus CT indicated a retained tooth or a dermoid cyst. It was removed by endoscopic surgery. Histology confirmed the diagnosis of a retained tooth. At follow-up, the patient reported no nasal symptoms. A retained nasal tooth is rare, and the symptoms are variable. It can resemble other diseases such as chronic rhinosinusitis. Surgical removal is recommended to confirm the diagnosis and eliminate symptoms.
一名59岁男性出现单侧鼻塞和流涕症状。临床检查发现鼻腔底部有一个肿块。鼻窦CT显示为一颗滞留牙或皮样囊肿。通过内镜手术将其切除。组织学检查确诊为滞留牙。随访时,患者报告无鼻部症状。滞留鼻牙较为罕见,症状多样。它可能类似于其他疾病,如慢性鼻-鼻窦炎。建议手术切除以明确诊断并消除症状。
