Abstract
|
|
|
|
Leiomyoma is a benign myogenic tumor arising from smooth muscle cell, which may develop wherever smooth muscle exists. They are commonly encountered in the uterus, skin, and gastrointestinal tract, but rarely exist in the nasal cavity. Nasal leiomyoma does not invade surrounding structures and is rarely discovered at the posterosuperior area of nasal septum. The size of nasal leiomyoma is usually less than 2cm. We have recently experienced a case of nasal leiomyoma of 5cm size at the posterosuperior septum, which destructs neighboring tissues. Here, we present a case of leiomyoma of the nasal septum with a literature review.
