PATHOLOGIC QUIZ CASE 1

David M. Alessi, MD; Jan Zemplenyi, MD; Yao S. Fu, MD, Los Angeles

A 58-year-old nonsmoking man presented to the Head and Neck Surgery service with a one-year history of progressively worsening right-sided nasal congestion and rhinorrhea. There were no other otolaryngologic complaints. Examination revealed two distinct lesions of the right nasal cavity: a 5-mm, pinkish, papillomatous growth arising from the inferolateral aspect of the nasal vestibule, and a large friable mass, covered with thick white mucus, apparently arising from the ethmoid region and blocking the entire nasal passage. A transnasal biopsy was performed on specimens of both lesions as shown in Figs 1, 2, and 3. A computed tomographic scan revealed complete opacification of the right frontal, ethmoid, and maxillary sinuses without any evidence of bony erosion (Fig 4). The nasal septum was displaced to the left.
