Objective

Managing benign tumours of the external nose involves balancing optimal excision with the preservation of nasal function and aesthetics. This study aims to identify histologic diagnoses, surgical strategies and post-operative outcomes.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was conducted from November 2006 to March 2023. All surgeries were performed by a single surgeon

Results

The included 24 patients with a mean age of 32.7 ± 19.2 years (range, 3 months to 65 years) at diagnosis. Tumours were predominantly located on the nasal dorsum (n = 11). Among the 11 histologic tumour types, haemangioma was the most common (n = 8). Most patients (70.8 per cent) underwent an open rhinoplasty approach. Recurrence occurred in four patients (16.7 per cent).

Conclusion

Benign tumours of the external nose exhibit diverse pathology. Partial tumour removal may be considered in extensive cases with skin involvement for preserving nasal aesthetics. A tailored surgical strategy is crucial for managing these rare tumours.
