Nasal atypical carcinoid tumor. A case report

https://doi.org/10.14201/orl.13965

Abstract

Introduction: Carcinoid tumors are neuroendocrine tumors that are usually located on the gastrointestinal system, but infrequent in the sinus area. Description: The case of a 55-year-old woman with a unilateral nasal mass is described. The pathological analysis shows histological and immunohistochemical characteristics compatible with atypical carcinoid tumor. Discussion: carcinoid tumors may be typical or atypical according to their degree of differentiation. Although rare, they should be considered in differential diagnosis of unilateral polyposis. Treatment is essentially surgical. Conclusions: This case highlights the importance of histopathological analysis of all unilateral nasal lesions.
