  • Title: Calcium oxalate granuloma of the nose of a chronically dialysed nephritic patient.
    Author: Böör A, Jurkovic I, Friedmann I, Benický M, Kocan P.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 2001 Jun; 115(6):514-6. PubMed ID: 11429084.
    Abstract:
    The patient was a 54-year-old woman who had been suffering from chronic tubulo-interstitial nephritis for about seven years, requiring haemodialysis. More recently, she developed a polypoid mass in the left nasal cavity causing discomfort on breathing and slight epistaxis. The tumour was of gritty consistency and measured 28 x 8 x 5 mm. Microscopy showed a lobulated almost cystic structure composed of granulation tissue with comparatively few plasma cells and many multinucleated giant cells lining the spaces filled with crystalline deposits of calcium oxalate.
