Resection of Huge Nasal Septal Chondroma Via Endoscopic Septoplasty Approach Through Modified Killian Incision

Abstract

Chondromas are benign cartilaginous tumors that frequently occur in the long bones, pelvis, sternum, ribs, and scapula. They seldom develop in the head and neck region, and there have been rare reports of them arising in the nasal septum. Although the mainstay of management is surgery, surgical treatment strategies vary depending on the size, location, and extent of the disease. Herein, we describe a case of huge chondroma originated from the anterior nasal septum, which was completely removed by endoscopic septoplasty approach thorough modified Killian incision.
