We report a case of antrochoanal polyp, which has unusual presentation according to the location of the polyp in a 15-year-female patient. The patient came complaining of nasal obstruction, headache, and postnasal drip for a two-week period. The antrochoanal polyp measured 2.5 x 2 cm in the left maxillary sinus and extended to the anterior part of the nasal cavity. CT imaging demonstrated a total opacified left maxillary sinus, maxillary ostium with widening of the left maxillary ostium by polypoid mucosal thickening suggesting an antrochoanal polyp obstructing the left anterior nasal cavity. This case is reported as there are not many articles in world literature describing an antrochoanal polyp presented in the anterior nasal cavity.
我们报告一例上颌窦后鼻孔息肉病例，该病例中息肉的位置在一名15岁女性患者身上呈现出不寻常的表现。患者前来就诊，主诉鼻塞、头痛和鼻后滴漏症状已持续两周。上颌窦后鼻孔息肉位于左上颌窦，大小为2.5×2厘米，并延伸至鼻腔前部。CT成像显示左侧上颌窦完全混浊，上颌窦口因息肉样黏膜增厚而增宽，提示上颌窦后鼻孔息肉阻塞左侧前鼻腔。由于世界文献中描述鼻腔前部出现上颌窦后鼻孔息肉的文章不多，故报告此病例。
