Abstract

|
|
|
Epiphora is a symptom in which tears overflow onto the face, with its most common cause be-ing the obstruction of the nasolacrimal system. As a cause of nasolacrimal system obstruction,nasolacrimal duct tumors are very rare. Angioleiomyoma, which is a benign tumor, arisesfrom vascular smooth muscle, occurs in the nasolacrimal duct, and is extremely rare. With thedevelopment of endoscopic intranasal approach for the treatment of nasolacrimal duct ob-struction, there is increased importance for the consideration of otorhinolaryngological evalu-ation and treatment as well as dacryocystorhinostomy by conventional external approach. Inthis article, we introduce a case in which angioleiomyoma in the nasolacrimal duct was de-tected by nasal endoscopy and was successfully treated with endoscopic surgery.
