Rhinoliths result from neglected nasal foreign bodies that gradually increase in size. They are usually discovered incidentally during routine ENT examination or due to the associated symptoms such as nasal obstruction or persistent foul-smelling unilateral nasal discharge. A case of a 14-year-old girl was reported with a year history of the symptom. The foul-smelling nasal discharge noted by her mother was not the main concern to them. She was referred by her primary care physician as she complained of impacted ear wax. However, rhinolith was incidentally found upon routine clinical examination in the ENT clinic and was removed uneventfully.

The presence of an ectopic supernumerary tooth in the nose is an uncommon phenomenon. A supernumerary tooth may be asymptomatic but must be given special attention as it has the potential to cause significant morbidity. Bilateral intranasal supernumerary teeth are an extremely rare disease entity. We report the clinical and radiologic findings of bilateral ectopic supernumerary teeth erupted from the nasal floor.

Submucosal glands produce most of nasal mucous secretion which play an important role in airflow hydration, mucociliary transport, innate immunity and antimicrobial defense. However, excessive mucus secretion is related with pathophysiologic characteristics in several chronic inflammatory diseases such as chronic rhinosinusitis and allergic rhinitis. This review details the anatomy, physiology of submucosal gland in nose and summarized pathophysiologic relationship between the submucosal gland and nasal diseases.

Sebaceous trichofolliculoma, which is a variant of trichofolliculoma, is a rare disease that clinically show a centrally depressed lesion usually singly on the nose, and histologically a centrally located cavity, lined by squamous epithelium, with numerous sebaceous lobules connected to them. We describe a case of sebaceous trichofolliculoma in a 27-year-old woman who had several brown papules on the nose. We think that this is the first report of sebaceous trichofolliculloma in Korean literature.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical characteristics and therapy methods of Keratoacanthoma. METHOD: We reported a 39 years old man with nasal keratoacanthoma, and reviewed the literatures. RESULT: The nasal neoplasms was expected, and the patient had a rhinoplasty. No recurrence happened in the half of one year follow up. CONCLUSION Keratoacanthoma is a kind of low malignant potential cutaneous neoplasms which grow rapidly with special clinical and histopathologic characteristics and is similar to squamous carcinoma cell.
