| Summary: | Background: Xanthogranulomatous infammation is an uncommon condition in adult nasal cavity and
nasopharynx.
Case presentation: We report a male patient who developed xanthogranulomatous infammation in the bilateral
nose and nasopharynx. The patient was not responsive to oral steroid. Multiple biopsies were taken to confrm the
defnitive diagnosis, and endoscopic debulking of mass was performed to provide symptomatic relief. Patient was
free from nasal symptoms, and residual nasal and nasopharyngeal masses showed no increment in size and number
during follow-up.
Conclusion: Xanthogranulomatous infammation in the nasal cavity and nasopharynx can be easily confused with
other nasal masses. A histopathology examination is crucial to establish the diagnosis. A repeated biopsy is needed if
previous biopsy result is inconclusive. Surgical excision is recommended for symptomatic relief. The efectiveness of
medical treatment is still unclear. A long-term follow-up is mandatory. |
