Mixed Tumor of the Nasal Root

Abstract

Summary: We reported the case of a 53-year-old man who presented with over 25-year history of a soft tissue on the nasal root. The tumor with a diameter of 4 cm was observed on the nasal root, the mass was soft, freely mobile, and painless on palpation. No adhesion with the nasal bone was observed. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple nodular solid tumor masses. There was a region with low contrast in the tumor, and adipose tissue was confirmed. We performed total excision. Histopathological examination revealed that the tumor had multiple nodular lesions, and epithelial component had glandular features and a myxoid stromal component. So, we diagnosed mixed tumor of the skin. To the best of our knowledge, it seems to be the largest in the mixed tumor of the skin that occurred in the nasal root in the previous reports.
