비강측벽에 발생한 다형성 선종 1예

Pleomorphic adenoma most commonly affects the major salivary gland, the minor salivary glands affected rarely. Although the nasal cavity has numerous serous and mucous glands, pleomorphic adenoma at this site is unusual. Fewer than 10% of the intranasal pleomorphic adenoma were noted to arise from the lateral nasal wall, with the rest originating from the septum. The authors presented a very rare case of pleomorphic adenoma of the lateral nasal wall successfully treated by endoscopic resection. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2005;16:157-159)
