Abstract

We report an uncommon case of atypical solitary nasal polyp located on rhinopharynx-cavum without dependence of maxillary sinus, sphenoid or ipsilateral choana. The patient was a 69 years old male who went to Emergencies because of headache and, after making a craneofacial CT, it showed such tumoration with more than 4 cm of maximal dia meter. Due to a negative biopsy, he was operated by Endoscopic Nasosinusal Surgery (ENSS) with complete removal of the polypoid lesion which was histologically confirmed by anatomopathologic exam that descarted malignant signs. The last exploration by fibroscopy in our hospital was completely normal.
