Nasopharyngeal middle turbinate is an extremely rare anatomical variant which has been suggested to correlate with chronic rhinosinusitis. However, due the rarity of this variant, its clinical implications remain inadequately defined. Here, we present a case of a 37-year-old male patient with bilateral nasopharyngeal middle turbinates, one of which had a large cystic lesion causing nasal obstruction. The patient's presentation, radiological and endoscopic findings, as well as the management approach are discussed in the context of the limited literature on this topic.
鼻咽部中鼻甲是一种极其罕见的解剖变异，有人认为它与慢性鼻-鼻窦炎相关。然而，由于这种变异的罕见性，其临床意义仍未得到充分界定。在此，我们报告一例37岁男性患者，双侧存在鼻咽部中鼻甲，其中一个有大的囊性病变导致鼻塞。结合关于该主题的有限文献，对患者的临床表现、影像学和内镜检查结果以及治疗方法进行了讨论。
