ABSTRACT

Introduction: Myxoma is a benign tumor with slow-growth and rare presence in the maxilla and mandible. Case presentation: We report a case report of a 22-years old male who presented with a persistent bilateral progressive nasal obstruction, and he was diagnosed as a bilateral allergic fungal polyp; he showed no improvement on corticosteroid treatment. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) used to treat the patient, which is known for using in the treatment of chronic severe conditions of the nasal sinuses, antrochoanal polys, and sinonasal tumors. FESS was found to be efficient in the treatment of nasal myxoma, with complete removal of the tumor with no recurrence on follow-up. Conclusion: complete removal of the tumor with no recurrence on follow-up and longer follow-up should be established to ensure no long-term recurrence.

Keywords: Nasal, Myoxoma, FESS, Recurrence.
