Pleomorphic adenoma of the nasal septum: a case report

Abstract

   Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign tumor of major and minor salivary glands. It rarely originates from the nasal cavity. Recognizing the symptoms and characteristics of the condition is crucial for early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, given its potential for malignant transformation. We are reporting a case of a 28-year-old female with a long duration of unilateral nasal obstruction. Rigid nasal endoscopy showed a mass at the right nasal septum. Preoperative imaging was performed followed by endoscopic resection of the mass. The pathological diagnosis was pleomorphic adenoma. Post-operatively, appropriate examination with nasal endoscopy Long-term follow-up is essential to monitor for local recurrence
