Chondrosarcoma of the nasal septum is a rare malignancy. Its early diagnosis is difficult because of its non-specific sinonasal complaints. We report a case report of a 72-year-old woman who presented with progressive nasal obstruction and anosmia. Nasal endoscopy showed a nasal mass obstructing both nasal cavities, which was not separable from the nasal septum. Endoscopic biopsy confirmed chondrosarcoma. The tumour was operated on with complete margins by an endoscopic approach. The clinical presentation of the disease, diagnosis and treatment of this case, and a review of the literature are discussed.
鼻中隔软骨肉瘤是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤。由于其鼻窦症状不具特异性,早期诊断较为困难。我们报告一例72岁女性患者,表现为进行性鼻塞和嗅觉减退。鼻内镜检查显示鼻腔肿物阻塞双侧鼻腔,与鼻中隔相连。内镜活检确诊为软骨肉瘤。通过内镜手术完整切除肿瘤边缘。本文讨论了该疾病的临床表现、本病例的诊断和治疗,并对相关文献进行了综述。
