We report a rare case of multiple benign minor salivary gland tumors in a 60-year-old woman, presenting with progressive left nasal obstruction, intermittent anterior nasal discharge, and postnasal drip. Diagnostic nasal endoscopy and computed tomography (CT) scan revealed sessile, pale, non-pulsating masses in the left nasal cavity, septum, and nasopharynx. Histopathological examination confirmed ectopic minor salivary glands. The tumors were successfully removed via endoscopic excision, and the patient experienced resolution of symptoms with no evidence of recurrence during follow-up. This case highlights the importance of a systematic approach involving clinical assessment, imaging, and histopathological analysis for accurate diagnosis and management of nasal salivary masses.
我们报告了一例罕见的60岁女性多发良性小唾液腺肿瘤病例,患者表现为进行性左侧鼻塞、间歇性前鼻溢液和鼻后滴漏。诊断性鼻内镜检查和计算机断层扫描(CT)显示左侧鼻腔、鼻中隔和鼻咽部有蒂状、苍白、无搏动性肿物。组织病理学检查证实为异位小唾液腺。通过内镜切除术成功切除肿瘤,患者症状缓解,随访期间无复发迹象。该病例强调了采用包括临床评估、影像学检查和组织病理学分析在内的系统方法对鼻腔唾液腺肿物进行准确诊断和管理的重要性。
