Abstract:
Leiomyoma is a tumor rarely occurring in the nose and the paranasal sinus. It constitutes about 1% of all benign tumors arising in the head and neck area. This is probably due to the paucity of smooth muscle in the nose. We experienced a case of leiomyoma originating in the right side of the nasal septum in a 50-year- man. It was successfully removed by endoscopic surgery, and we report this case with literature.
