Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Hypertrophy of inferior turbinate is a common condition, especially with nasal septum deviation. Sometimes, the cause of hypertrophy of inferior turbinate can be fibro-osseous lesions. Benign, rare, and non-aggressive fibro-osseous neoplasms such as ossifying fibroma can affect paranasal sinuses. Isolated inferior turbinate involvement is extremely rare in ossifying fibroma. In this article, we present a 28-year-old female suffering from nasal obstruction due to septal deviation and hypertrophy of inferior turbinate. Preoperative and postoperative investigation show that cause of hypertrophy of inferior turbinate is ossifying fibroma. To our knowledge, that this is the second case of ossifying fibroma reported in the English-language literature due to its isolated localization. However, if the patients with inferior turbinate hypertrophy are examined carefully, we can prevent unnecessary medical treatment and surgery for inferior turbinate hypertrophy. |
