We describe two cases of nasal inverted papilloma who had different management modalities. Although both were essentially of the same pathology, one underwent endoscopic excision while the other was treated with the more popular lateral rhinotomy and medial maxillectomy. We wish to highlight the different modalities of treatment available for inverted papilloma and a review of published results.

Meningioma is well known as common disease of the central nervous system, whereas primary extracranial meningioma is rare, representing 1% to 2% of all meningiomas. We have experienced a case of primary extracranial meningioma presenting as a right cheek mass. The tumor was completely excised via a right lateral rhinotomy incision. Histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of primary ...

Esthesioneuroblastoma(Olfactory neuroblastoma) is a rare malignant neoplasm arising from basal cells within the olfactory epithelium. Its clinnical course is unpredictable with variable correlation between microscopic features and biological behaviour.[1] We report a very indolent case of olfactory neuroblastoma presented only with nasal obstruction due to unilateral mass at the anterolateral a...

Angiosarcoma of the nasal cavity is extremely rare. We present a case of angiosarcoma of the nasal cavity in an eight-year-old boy. He was treated with medial maxillectomy via lateral rhinotomy. The histological diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistological stain with Factor VIII-like antigen. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was useful in determining the extent of the tumour.

A twenty-four year old male presented with unilateral nasal obstruction and epistaxis; anterior rhinoscopy revealed the presence of a vascular polypoid lesion high in the left nasal cavity. Following resection by lateral rhinotomy, histology demonstrated a neuroendocrine tumour consisting of chief cells arranged in zellballen, surrounded by S100-positive sustentacular cells consistent with a pa...
