A Huge Chondrosarcoma of the Nasal Septum
Chondrosarcoma of the nasal septum is a rare malignancy. Its early diagnosis is difficult because of its non-specific sinonasal complaints. We report a case report of a 72-year-old woman who presented with progressive nasal obstruction and anosmia. Nasal endoscopy showed a nasal mass obstructing bot...

description | Chondrosarcoma of the nasal septum is a rare malignancy. Its early diagnosis is difficult because of its non-specific sinonasal complaints. We report a case report of a 72-year-old woman who presented with progressive nasal obstruction and anosmia. Nasal endoscopy showed a nasal mass obstructing both nasal cavities, which was not separable from the nasal septum. Endoscopic biopsy confirmed chondrosarcoma. The tumour was operated on with complete margins by an endoscopic approach. The clinical presentation of the disease, diagnosis and treatment of this case, and a review of the literature are discussed. |
