Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare benign tumor mostly found in the metaphysis of long bones. In rare cases, it develops in unusual locations. We report a case of chondromyxoid fibroma from the nasal septum. Endoscopic surgery was performed with the patient under general anesthesia. A plasma knife was used to ablate the tumor. No recurrence was noted at the 4-year follow-up. The advantages of endoscopic surgery include direct observation, improved visibility and magnification, reduced intraoperative trauma, and fewer postoperative complications. The advantages of the plasma knife include its ability to separate and ablate the tumor simultaneously while effectively reducing bleeding and maintaining the visibility of the surgical field.
软骨黏液样纤维瘤是一种罕见的良性肿瘤，主要发生在长骨的干骺端。在罕见的情况下，它也会在不常见的部位发生。我们报告了一例发生于鼻中隔的软骨黏液样纤维瘤。在全身麻醉下，采用内镜手术切除肿瘤。使用等离子刀消融肿瘤。4 年随访时未见复发。内镜手术的优点包括直接观察、改善的可视性和放大率、减少术中创伤以及更少的术后并发症。等离子刀的优点包括能够同时分离和消融肿瘤，同时有效减少出血并保持手术视野的清晰。
