Abstract

|
Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is an extremely rare, benign cartilaginous tumor found in thecraniofacial region. It is often misdiagnosed due to its rare occurrence in the nasal and para-nasal sinus; moreover, it has similarities with other cartilaginous tumors, showing the sameradiologic and histopathologic features. A 62-year-old female consulted our clinic with thechief complaint of a left nasolabial mass of one-month history. The mass was located in thenasal cavity: from there it extended anteriorly to the anterior nasal spine, posteriorly to the endof the hard palate, and laterally to the maxillary sinus. The nasal septum was deviated to theright side due to the mass effect. Complete removal of the mass was conducted via the modi-fied endoscopic Denker’s approach, and the diagnosis of CMF was established. During the36-month follow-up, no recurrence was observed.
