Abstract
- Pleomorphic adenoma in nasal cavity is rare and mainly occurs in the major salivary gland. We have experienced a case of a 25 years old woman complaining recurrent nasal bleeding and nasal obstruction. She showed a tumor in the left nasal cavity. We treated the nasal cavity tumor by endoscopic sinus surgery. The tumor was 4.5X3.0X2.5 cm in size and firm, parenchymatous and pale in contour. The pathologic diagnosis was pleomorphic adenoma. We report in this case of pleomorphic adenoma in the nasal septum.
