Leiomyoma of the nasal cavity: case report.

M.AH, female, 54 years, born and raised in São Paulo, with repetition epistaxis, nasal obstruction and hyposmia for two years. A solid tumor was found in her nose, coming from the middle meatus and partially obstructing her left nasal cavity.

The material was then sent for a pathology exam and immunohistochemistry, which confirmed the diagnosis of a mesenchymal neoplasia originating from the smooth muscle. Surgery was performed under endoscopic view, with a 30 4mm scope, when we resected the posterior portion of the left middle concha. The patient remained without nasal packing in the postoperative period, and did not have complications.
