    Author: Ozel HE, Ergul G, Gur OE, Kulacoglu S, Ozdem C.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 2008 Sep; 122(9):e21. PubMed ID: 18662434.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: We report a rare case of sialadenoma papilliferum. METHOD: A case report of sialadenoma papilliferum is presented. RESULTS: A 67-year-old woman presented with recurrent epistaxis. She was found to have an exophytic, well circumscribed mass on the nasal septum mucosa. The lesion was completely excised. A diagnosis of sialadenoma papilliferum was made based on the characteristic histological pattern. Follow up showed no evidence of recurrence. Subsequently, the patient remained well without complaint of epistaxis. CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, this is the first report in the world literature of sialadenoma papilliferum of the nasal cavity. This case indicates that this rare tumour can present with epistaxis, and can be resolved by means of total excision.
