Abstract
Pleomorphic adenoma (PA), the most common benign salivary gland tumor, is rarely found in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, particularly in pediatric patients. This report presents a case of PA in the nasal septum of a 14-year-old girl who presented with unilateral epistaxis and progressive nasal obstruction. The tumor was excised from the left anterior nasal septum via endoscopic sinus surgery, and PA was confirmed through histopathological examination. This case emphasizes the importance of including PA in the differential diagnosis of pediatric sinonasal masses, despite its rarity, and underscores the necessity of meticulous surgical planning to prevent recurrence. Further studies are needed to better understand the long-term outcomes and optimal management strategies for this rare condition in children.
期刊介绍：
The American Journal of Cancer Research (AJCR) (ISSN 2156-6976), is an independent open access, online only journal to facilitate rapid dissemination of novel discoveries in basic science and treatment of cancer. It was founded by a group of scientists for cancer research and clinical academic oncologists from around the world, who are devoted to the promotion and advancement of our understanding of the cancer and its treatment. The scope of AJCR is intended to encompass that of multi-disciplinary researchers from any scientific discipline where the primary focus of the research is to increase and integrate knowledge about etiology and molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis with the ultimate aim of advancing the cure and prevention of this increasingly devastating disease. To achieve these aims AJCR will publish review articles, original articles and new techniques in cancer research and therapy. It will also publish hypothesis, case reports and letter to the editor. Unlike most other open access online journals, AJCR will keep most of the traditional features of paper print that we are all familiar with, such as continuous volume, issue numbers, as well as continuous page numbers to retain our comfortable familiarity towards an academic journal.
