Pleomorphic Adenoma of the Nasal Cavity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pleomorphic adenoma is mixed and usually benign tumor originating salivary glands. The most common salivary gland tumor is pleomorphic adenoma. The most common localization of pleomorphic adenoma is parotid gland. Although it is found in major salivary gland, pleomorphic adenoma may be found paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity rarely. A 74-year-old female presented with a 3-month history of right-sided nasal obstruction was presented. Although it is infrequently, the possibility of pleomorphic adenoma should be kept in mind while assessing well-defined lobular intranasal lesions. (JAREM 2015; 5: 25-7)

Nasal masses are often due to antrochoanal or ethmoidal polyps or angiofibromas or haemangiomas or papillomas. Intranasal pleomorphic adenomas are very unusual and may be misdiagnosed because they have greater myoepithelia...
متن کاملRare benign pleomorphic adenoma of the nose: short study and literature review
Pleomorphic adenoma is one of the most common benign tumors of the major salivary glands. It can also occur in the minor salivary glands, which exist in the nasal cavity. Intranasal pleomorphic adenoma usually originates from glands of the nasal septum mucosa. We present the results of endoscopic endonasal surgery of this pathology. The aim of the study was to present the endoscopic technique f...
متن کاملPedunculated carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma of the nasal cavity
BACKGROUND A carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA) is an epithelial malignancy arising in or from a benign pleomorphic salivary adenoma. The parotid gland is the most common location of CXPAs. Minor salivary gland CXPAs of the nasal cavity are exceedingly rare, with only 6 documented in the literature. METHODS AND RESULT We present a 7th case: an unusual pedunculated intranasal CXPA, which ...
