Intranasal ectopic dentition is a rare clinical entity. The presence of teeth has been reported in ovaries, testes, anterior mediastinum and presacral regions. In the maxillofacial region, teeth have been found in maxillary sinus, mandibular condyle, coronoid process, chin, nose and even orbit. A 21-year-old female patient presented with complaints of intermittent right-sided epistaxis and a history of occasional headache for 6 months. An anterior rhinoscopic examination revealed a hard white mass surrounded by granulation tissue lying in the floor of the right nasal cavity. The clinical appearance was that of a rhinolith. Supernumerary teeth are extra to normal complement in dentition. They may occur unilaterally or bilaterally, single or multiple. A variety of complications can occur ranging from crowding to cyst formation. Hence, early identification and treatment are essential for management.
鼻内异位牙列是一种罕见的临床病症。牙齿已被报道出现在卵巢、睾丸、前纵隔和骶前区域。在颌面区域，牙齿已在上颌窦、下颌髁突、冠状突、下巴、鼻子甚至眼眶中被发现。一名21岁女性患者主诉间歇性右侧鼻出血，并有6个月偶尔头痛的病史。前鼻镜检查发现右鼻腔底部有一个被肉芽组织包围的坚硬白色肿块。临床表现为鼻石。多生牙是牙列中超出正常数量的牙齿。它们可单侧或双侧出现，单个或多个。可能会发生从拥挤到囊肿形成等各种并发症。因此，早期识别和治疗对于管理至关重要。
