Abstract:
Leiomyoma is a benign myogenic tumor found mainly in the uterus, skin and the alimentary tract. However, leiomyoma of the nasal septum is very rare and only four cases have been reported in the literature. We present a case of leiomyoma that had rose from the nasal septum and had been removed by endoscopic sinus surgery. This case might well be the fifth case in the world.
