Abstract
- Leiomyoma may occur wherever smooth muscle is present. The most common locations are the uterus, alimentary tract, skin and subcutaneous tissue. Leiomyoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus is rare because of the paucity of smooth muscle in the nose. It may have originated from the smooth muscular tissue existing in the middle layer of the blood vessles supplying sinus. We experienced 2 cases of leiomyomas excised by endoscopic removal and external approach, respectively.
