混合腫瘍を含む鼻中隔良性腫瘍の5例

抄録

Five cases of benign tumors arising from the septal mucosa were reported. These include benign salivary-gland-type mixed tumor and pyogenic granuloma. All but one arose from the Little's area. Reviews of the references concerning benign tumors of the nasal septum were done. Possible traumatic origin of pyogenic granuloma was discussed. Similar process to that of vocal nodules was suggested. Resection of the tumors including perichondrium and septal mucosa was suggested as the best choice of surgical methods.
