Abstract
|
|
|
Myoepithelioma is a rare tumor of the salivary glands. Occurrence of myoepithelioma in thenasal cavity is even rarer, and there has been no case wherein the change in the size of the tu-mor was confirmed by imaging. In this report, a 84-year-old female was found to have a rap-idly enlarged tumor on the preoperative image, but she had shown no significant size changein a medical examination six months ago or in the paranasal sinuses view three months ago.
The image showed a rapid increase in the size of the cystic component, so the endoscopic me-dial maxillectomy was performed. There was no recurrence of the tumor at follow-up sixmonths after surgery. Although myoepithelioma is rarely found in the maxillary sinus of thesinonasal cavity, it is important to suspect myoepithelioma and consult a pathologist if itshows a similar pattern to the current case.
