Abstract
|
|
|
|
Lipoma is the most common benign neoplasm in adults. While it is commonly found in the neck, trunk, and extremities, it is extremely rare in the nasal cavity, paranasal sinus, or nasal septum. To our knowledge, there have been only a few cases of septal lipomas reported in the English literature. A 32-year-old woman visited Kosin University Hospital complaining of left nasal congestion and throat discomfort. Upon nasal endoscopy examination and CT, we found a polypoid mass of 2.7×1.5 cm with an elongated neck occupying a region left of the nasopharyngeal to the oropharyngeal cavity. The mass was completely removed via endoscopic endonasal surgery under general anesthesia and was identified as a fibrolipoma in the histopathological examination. We report a case of a successfully treated fibrolipoma originating from the posterior margin of the nasal septum.
