Summary

A 52-year-old woman presented with a 1-year history of progressive right-sided nasal obstruction. Nasal endoscopy showed a polypoid lesion with smooth surface borders, almost entirely occupying the right nasal cavity. MRI showed a solid polypoid lesion with implant at the posterior right nasal fossa, measuring 3.5 cm in the maximum diameter, filling the right nasal cavity (Figure 1). The contrast medium was homogeneously taken by the lesion, which did not involve the walls of the nasal cavity. The mass was surgically excised.
