Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is a salivary gland tumor that may rarely occur in the nasal cavity. It can be a clinical diagnostic dilemma in many instances due to many possible differential diagnoses. We report the case of a 26-year-old female who presented with a 3-year history of a right nasal growth associated with ipsilateral nasal blockage, nasal pain, and rhinorrhea. Radiological image showed a mild enhancing lesion in the right nasal cavity. The patient underwent a lateral rhinotomy with wide excision of the mass. Histopathological exam was consistent with PA. Nasal PA is a rare entity and should be suspected as a diagnosis for intranasal tumors.
多形性腺瘤(PA)是一种唾液腺肿瘤,很少发生于鼻腔。由于存在多种可能的鉴别诊断,在许多情况下它可能成为临床诊断难题。我们报告一例26岁女性病例,该患者有右侧鼻腔肿物伴同侧鼻塞、鼻痛和流涕3年病史。影像学检查显示右侧鼻腔有一轻度强化病变。患者接受了外侧鼻切开术并广泛切除肿物。组织病理学检查结果符合多形性腺瘤。鼻腔多形性腺瘤是一种罕见疾病,对于鼻内肿瘤应怀疑其诊断。
