Abstract
- Septochoanal polyp is a rare entity that originates in the nasal septum and extends into the choana. Based on nasal endoscopy, a 43-year-old woman, presenting with nasal obstruction, was suspected of having a nasopharyngeal tumor. A CT scan revealed a large choanal polyp pedicle with calcification in the central area. Because a simple polypectomy carries a high risk of recurrence, the treatment of the septochoanal polyp should involve a resection of the septal mucosa and complete surgical removal by either endonasal or transoral approach.
