A Case of Choanal Polyp Originating from the Superior Nasal Concha
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 55-year-old male patient, who had had complaints of nasal obstruction for a long time, was admitted to the ear-nose-throat (ENT) clinic because of increased nasal obstruction over the previous four months. Based on endoscopic examination, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the patient was diagnosed as having a choanal polyp originating from the right superior concha. The mass was resected using the endoscopic technique. The histopathology results revealed an inflammatory polyp. We decided to present this case because the literature includes no previous reports of cases of choanal polyps originating from the superior concha.
