Abstract

Pleomorphic adenomas (PAs) are the commonest benign tumors of major salivary glands. Interestingly, they can arise at any site of salivary gland tissue. Intranasal PAs are an extremely unaccustomed entity. Till 1981, only 6 Bonafide cases arising from the nasal septum had been documented. In such scenario of its rarity, available literature tending to be in the form of isolated case reports and a high potential of this tumor getting misdiagnosed, every case needs to be reported to facilitate a valid statistical analysis. We present a case of a 36 years old male who presented to us with complaints of left sided nasal obstruction of 6 months duration and was diagnosed to have PA arising from the nasal septum. We also present review of literature of intranasal PAs with emphasis on its clinical presentation, gross and microscopic appearance and surgical management.
