Fibroepithelial Polyps of the Inferior Turbinate

Abstract

A 61-year-old female complained of nasal stuffiness and bleeding, and she was found to have multiple fibroepithelial polyps in the inferior turbinate. Reports regarding polyps in the nasal cavity mucosa are very rare. We treated the patient by excising the polyps and using a microdebrider to expose the bone. More than one year later there had been no recurrence of the polyps. Reports of cases of polyp formation in the tracheal mucosa have pointed out the histological possibility of neoplasms and the risk of recurrence. Thus, long-term observation of this patient will be necessary.
