GUSTAVO, Del Carpio-Mostajo; RODRIGUEZ-ANEZ, Cristhian F  e  HUAYCHO-FLORES, Juan R. Pleomorphic adenoma of the nasal septum, a case report. Cuad. - Hosp. Clín. [online]. 2024, vol.65, n.1, pp.55-59. ISSN 1562-6776.  https://doi.org/10.53287/njfx2395zr97b.

Pleomorphic adenomas are common benign mixed tumors of the major salivary glands. However, their incidence in the nasal cavity is very low and remains as a topic of discussion. These tumors exhibit slow but progressive growth and have a low rate of malignancy. Definitive diagnosis is established through histopathological examination. We present an isolated clinical case of a 39-year-old patient with a one-year story of nasal obstruction due to a tumor in the nasal septum. Clinical and imaging findings were consistent with a benign nasal fossa tumor. The patient underwent endonasal surgical resection, and subsequent histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma. We also review relevant literature, emphasizing differential diagnosis, malignancy grading, and regular follow-up.
