비중격에서 발생한 섬유상피용종 1예

Abstract

Fibroepithelial polyp (FEP) is a benign tumor of mesodermal origin, which is mostly found onthe skin. FEPs in the upper respiratory system are reported mostly originating from the oro-pharynx and larynx, and are rarely found in the nasal cavity. A 57-year-old female presentedwith a polyp-like lesion on the right nasal septal mucosa adjacent to the mucocutaneous junc-tion. The mass was surgically removed, and a diagnosis of FEP was made based on the histo-pathological review. This is the first report of FEP arising from the nasal septum.
