  • Fibro-hyaline extensions from the bony nasal aperture, causing nasal obstruction

  • R Haye, P Jebsen, B Dingsør
  • Journal:
    The Journal of Laryngology & Otology / Volume 125 / Issue 10 / October 2011

  • Objective:

    We report a rare case of fibro-hyaline anterior extensions of the bony nasal pyramid.

    Method:

    The clinical, radiological, intra-operative and histological findings are presented.

    Results:

    A 34-year-old man presented with bilateral nasal obstruction due to enlarged lateral walls of the nasal vestibule. Radiology showed normal bony structures. Surgery revealed three histologically identical, non-malignant, fibrous masses, one in the nasal septum and one in each of the vestibular walls. The latter were attached to the bony pyramid, protruding anteriorly and converging medially.

    Conclusion:

    The location and symmetry of the fibro-hyaline projections indicated that they constituted a malformation mimicking congenital bony nasal pyriform aperture stenosis. Histological analysis showed that the masses were not neoplastic.
