    Author: Abulezz T, Allam K.
    Journal: Rhinology; 2008 Jun; 46(2):151-2. PubMed ID: 18575018.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: We report an extremely rare case of subcutaneous lipoma of the nasal vestibule. METHOD: A case report and a review of the literature concerning lipomatous growths in the nose and paranasal cavities are presented. RESULTS: A 34-year-old male presented with a swelling protruding from the dome of the right nasal vestibule. The swelling was excised and histological examination revealed it to be a subcutaneous lipoma. CONCLUSION: Lipomas of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses have previously been reported, however, to our knowledge, this is the first report of such a lipoma developing subcutaneously under the nasal skin.
