Key result
Complete endoscopic excision successfully treats a rare nasal osteochondromyxoma in a teenager without Carney complex.
Case Report (n=1)
Complete endoscopic surgical excision is an effective treatment for nasal osteochondromyxoma, a rare benign bone tumor, even in the absence of Carney complex.
Supports endoscopic excision for nasal osteochondromyxoma without Carney complex; leaves open need for larger series on durability.
Osteochondromyxoma (OMX) is an extremely rare bone tumor and has been classified by the World Health Organization as a benign chondrogenic bone tumor. The tumor can be associated with Carney complex which is a rare autosomal dominant syndrome. The clinical presentation of the patient depends primarily on the location and the size of the tumor. It has an excellent prognosis with complete surgical excision. Here, in this case, we present a young female patient diagnosed with OMX without carney complex and underwent complete endoscopic surgical excision.
