Head and neck myxomas are extremely rare neoplasms, and only a few reports have been in the literature. Specifically, reports of myxomas of the nose and paranasal sinuses are sporadic. Here, we present a rare case of a 47-year-old female with progressive nasal obstruction who was found to have a myxoma arising within the inferior nasal concha-the first reported case of its kind. The diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy, and endoscopic transnasal resection (ETNR) was conducted. ETNR proved effective in resolving symptoms of nasal myxoma, with complete removal of the tumor and no recurrence on follow-up. The operation is described, and the literature on the subject is reviewed.
头颈部黏液瘤是极其罕见的肿瘤,文献中仅有少数报道。具体而言,关于鼻和鼻窦黏液瘤的报道较为零散。在此,我们报告一例罕见病例,一名47岁女性因进行性鼻塞就诊,经检查发现下鼻甲出现黏液瘤,这是首例此类报道的病例。通过活检确诊后,实施了鼻内镜经鼻切除术(ETNR)。ETNR被证明对缓解鼻黏液瘤症状有效,肿瘤被完全切除,随访期间无复发。本文描述了该手术过程,并对相关文献进行了综述。
