The nose is an uncommon site for a malignant melanoma, representing 2% to 5% of head and neck malignant melanoma. Nasal malignant melanoma develops from the melanocytes residing in mucous membranes that have migrated during embryologic development from the neural crest to the mucosa of the nose and sinuses. We report two case of the nasal septal malignant melanoma. the first case was 48-years –...

A nasal NK/T cell lymphoma is a very aggressive form of lymphoma. Patterns of relapse after treatment have not been systematically evaluated, and mediastinal nodal relapse at a primary site has never been documented. We describe here a 40-year old man who presented with a nasal obstruction caused by a protruding mass that was identified as a nasal NK/T cell lymphoma. The initial work-up, includ...

Background. LCH is a benign vascular growth of the skin and mucous membranes commonly affecting the head and neck. Since it was first described in the nineteenth century, this entity has been variously known as "human botryomycosis" and "pyogenic granuloma." The shifting nomenclature reflects an evolving understanding of the underlying pathogenesis. We review the histopathology of and current e...

Salt-sensitive hypertension is more common and has more severe consequences in urban black populations than in white populations. Increased renal sodium reabsorption through epithelial sodium channels may underlie the development of high blood pressure in black people. Increased sodium channel activity has been detected in subjects with Liddle's syndrome by nasal potential difference measuremen...

A 77-year-old healthy woman was referred to our hospital due to nasal pain for 2 weeks. She denied nasal trauma in recent months. The local physical finding showed a bulging nasal septum. Ultrasonography applied transversely on the patient’s nose showed a heterogeneous 1-centimeter-in-diameter mass, which was further confirmed by computed tomography. The abscess was drained and the bacteriologi...

An eight year-old mixed breed dog was referred for evaluation with chronic sneezing, epistaxis and nasal bone deformation. A clinical exam revealed a deformity of the left nasal bone. Cytological evaluation of the nasal cavity showed round and cuboid cells in different stages of maturation. Computed tomography images identified a diffuse soft tissue mass in the nasal cavity. The histopathologic...

Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) is often founded in the head and neck region. However, BSCC in the sinonasal tract is rare. We report here on the case of a 58-yr-old woman who presented with nasal obstruction and epistaxis. Computed tomography and examination of the nasal cavity revealed a tumor mass that originated from the right inferior turbinate with erosion of the nasal floor. The ...

Rhinolith is a stone like nasal mass uncommon in children and adolescent. Diagnosis of rhinolithiasis may be difficult because of the possibility of varying clinical presentations. We report 2 cases in adults. The first was 23 years old female having unilateral nasal obstruction, cacosmia and occasional blood stained nasal discharge. The second case was that of a 47 years old male having unilat...

Schwannomas of the head and neck are the most common form of benign nerve sheath tumours, most commonly arising in the form of vestibular schwannomas. Schwannoma of the nasal cavity is an uncommon presentation of this pathology and specifically Schwannoma of the nasal septum is a rare presentation of this well understood disease process. We present the case of a 31-year-old Eastern European mal...
