Endoscopic resection of a giant basal cell adenoma of the nasal septum: A case report

Le résumé fourni par la source

Basal cell adenoma is a rare, benign epithelial neoplasm and represents 2.4% of all benign salivary gland tumors. Basal cell adenoma of the nasal septum is extremely rare and only one case had been reported in literature. We describe the clinical history, imaging findings, surgical resection technique and pathology for the case of this extremely rare sinonasal pathology. We report a case of a giant septal basal cell adenoma resected using the endoscopic endonasal technique. The basal cell adenoma was resected using the endoscopic endonasal technique without complication. The patient is disease free two years following surgery. Basal cell adenoma of the sinonasal cavity is a rare, not previously reported, benign salivary gland tumor. Resection using an endoscopic endonasal technique can provide a safe and complete resection, with adequate margins to prevent recurrence of the disease.
