Abstract
A 66 years old female visited our hospital complaining severe nasal bleeding. She had right nephrectomy for a renal tumor 4 years ago, and had been suffering from the nasal obstruction, purulant nasal discharge and migrene on the right side for about 4 months. She had been having nasal bleeding for one week.
Rhinoscopic examination revealed a polypoid mass between the nasal septum and right mid- dle turbinate.
On the X-ray film, a thumb-tip-sized shadow was seen in the nasal cavity and the median wall of the ethmoidal sinus was compressed towards the nasal cavity. The tumor was removed, and histological examination revealed hypernephroma. The postoperative course was uneventful.
