Nasal Mass: An Enigma

Abstract

ABSTRACT:Glomangiopericytoma is an uncommon sinonasal neoplasm, originating from pericytes of capillaries constituting less than 1% of all sinonasal mass. It is a borderline low malignant tumor. We report the case of a 25 year old female with history of progressive nasal obstruction on the left side, bleeding from the left nasal cavity, anterior rhinoscopy showed a mass in the left middle meatus. This was successfully excised in toto by trans-nasal endoscopic approach. Histopathology was inconclusive and Immuno-histochemistry was required to confirm the diagnosis. The clinical presentation, histopathology, management and prognosis are discussed.
