Abstract
A 48 year old Muslim female patient came with complaints of a slowly enlarging polypoidal mass with obstructive symptoms in the leR nostril of six months duration, but no history of epistaxis. She was a known patient of allergic rhinitis for which she was taking anti-allergies for the past twenty years. There was no history of prior intranasal surgery and no family history of similar problem. X-ray nose and para-nasal sinuses revealed an expanding soft tissue intra-nasal mass on left side without sinus involvement. The turnout was removed by wide surgical excision with a provisional clinical diagnosis of Allergic Polyp and sent for histopathological examination. During surgery the tumour was found to originate from the mucosa of the bony nasal septum.
