Overview

A case report reveals myopericytoma in a male with epistaxis, suggesting the need for awareness in diagnosis.

Key Points

  • To highlight a rare case of myopericytoma arising in the nasal turbinate and its implications for otolaryngological practice.
  • Case report of a 67-year-old male with increased frequency of right-sided epistaxis.
  • Office nasal endoscopy revealed a mass on the right inferior turbinate.
  • Complete endoscopic excision of the identified mass was performed.
  • Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of myopericytoma.
  • The patient experienced controlled episodes of epistaxis with oxymetazoline spray and manual pressure.
  • Histopathological analysis confirmed the presence of myopericytoma with characteristic perivascular growth.
  • The case emphasizes the importance of considering perivascular tumours in the differential diagnosis of intranasal masses.
