A fibroepithelial polyp is a benign polypoidal lesion of mesodermal origin. It can present in any area of the body with an epithelial surface. These are relatively more common in skin and genitourinary tract and has been reported very rarely in head and neck region. We report here a rare presentation of fibroepithelial polyp in sinonasal cavity presenting with the symptoms of unilateral nasal obstruction. The patient underwent endoscopic surgical excision and recovered completely. In patients with unilateral sinonasal growing masses fibroepithelial polyp should be considered as one of the possible diagnoses. Sinonasal fibroepithelial polyps have good prognosis after being treated surgically.
纤维上皮性息肉是一种良性的中胚层来源的息肉样病变。它可以发生在任何有上皮表面的身体部位。这些在皮肤和泌尿生殖道中较为常见,而在头颈部则很少见。我们在此报告一例罕见的发生于鼻腔鼻窦的纤维上皮性息肉,其表现为单侧鼻塞。患者接受了内镜手术切除,完全康复。对于单侧鼻腔鼻窦生长性肿块的患者,纤维上皮性息肉应作为可能的诊断之一。经手术治疗后,鼻腔鼻窦纤维上皮性息肉预后良好。
