Abstract
We report a case of a nasal osteochondromyxoma in a 21-year-old female patient who presented with progressive nasal congestion, anosmia, and episodes of self-limiting epistaxis. Magnetic resonance imaging and computerized axial tomography scans were performed which demonstrated a large tumor occupying the nasal cavity. Endoscopic sinus surgery was performed resulting in complete resection of the tumor. No recurrence has been observed at 24 months following endoscopic sinus surgery. The patient has also recovered olfaction.
