: Myoepithelioma is a rare neoplasm of the salivary glands and accounts for less than 1% of salivary gland neoplasms. Only 7 cases of myoepithelioma in the nasal cavity have been reported till date in literature. : A 61 year old male presented to us with epistaxis. There was a pinkish fleshy mass occupying the right nasal cavity. Biopsy showed evidence of an epithelial tumor of intermediate aggressiveness. We did an endoscopic complete excision of nasal cavity mass. Histopathological examination of the resected tumor was consistent with myoepithelioma. Due to its rarity, the nature of the tumor is not known and regular follow-ups are needed for early detection of recurrence and malignancy. There has been no evidence of tumor recurrence in the 18 months following surgery.
肌上皮瘤是一种罕见的唾液腺肿瘤，占唾液腺肿瘤的比例不到1%。迄今为止，文献中仅报道了7例鼻腔肌上皮瘤。：一名61岁男性因鼻出血前来就诊。右侧鼻腔有一个粉红色肉质肿物。活检显示为中度侵袭性上皮肿瘤。我们对鼻腔肿物进行了内镜下完整切除。切除肿瘤的组织病理学检查结果与肌上皮瘤一致。由于其罕见性，肿瘤的性质尚不清楚，需要定期随访以便早期发现复发和恶变。术后18个月尚无肿瘤复发的证据。
