Abstract:

INTRODUCTION

The main aim of the work was to describe a rare clinical case of osteoma of inferior turbinate. The interest of the case is that such tumors are extremely rare.

RESULTS

A female patient of 63 years old attended an ENT clinic. She complained on absence of nasal breath at the right side and headache. After a full ENT-examination, anamnesis, and a thorough analysis of the radiation examination results (computed tomography data), a decision was made to surgical treatment. Under general anesthesia, controlled hypotension surgery was done. First step was septoplasty, then the dense bone tumor was reduced and removed. At the control examination in 3 months, the complete removal of the formation of the inferior turbinate on the right is determined. There were no signs of continued or recurrent tumor growth.

CONCLUSION

Neoplasms of the nasal cavity, in particular the inferior turbinate, are extremely rare pathologies. They are mainly detected when performing anterior rhinoscopy, endoscopic examination of the nasal cavity. The result of histological examination is compact osteoma. The gigantic size of the inferior turbinate osteoma in our case is probably due to the patient’s failure to consult a specialist (otorhinolaryngologist) for a long time. Surgical treatment of this pathology should consist in an endoscopic endonasal approach: this approach allows the most complete and minimally traumatic removal of the tumor.
