Myoepithelioma is a rare tumour of the salivary glands. Only 3 cases of myoepithelioma in the nasal cavity have been reported. A 29 year old male presented to us with epistaxis and nasal obstruction. There was a fleshy mass occupying the right middle meatus. Biopsy showed evidence of myoepithelioma and an endoscopic excision of the tumour was done. Histopathological examination of the resected tumour was consistent with myoepithelioma. Due to its rarity, the nature of the tumour is not known and regular follow-ups are needed for early detection of recurrence and malignancy.
肌上皮瘤是一种罕见的唾液腺肿瘤。鼻腔内的肌上皮瘤仅报道过3例。一名29岁男性因鼻出血和鼻塞前来就诊。有一个肉质肿物占据右侧中鼻道。活检显示为肌上皮瘤,并对肿瘤进行了内镜下切除。切除肿瘤的组织病理学检查结果与肌上皮瘤相符。由于其罕见性,肿瘤的性质尚不清楚,需要定期随访以便早期发现复发和恶变情况。
