Abstract

Primary nasal carcinoma is rare, and only 32 cases have been reported in the domestic literature. A case of primary nasal septal carcinoma which occurred in a 45 year old man was reported.
His chief complaint was nasal obstruction and epistaxis. The patient had extirpation of the carcinoma under maxillotomy (Menker's method) and received Cobalt irradiation (5000r) after the operation. Histological examination revealed that it was adenocarcinoma.
No recurrence of the carcinoma was noted in 2 years after the operation.
