Abstract
We treated a 45-year-old woman who had complained of left nasal obstruction for three years. A spherical tumor was found in the nasopharyngeal space and was removed surgically under general anesthesia in our hospital. The 30×24×15 mm tumor arose from the end of the left middle turbinate. Histopathological examination revealed a vascular leiomyoma. It is relatively uncommon for leiomyomas to develop in the nasal and paranasal cavities. Only 36 such cases have been reported in Japan; ours is the 37th case.
