Spindle cell tumor as nasal mass-A rare case report
Keywords:
Spindle cell tumor, Nasal mass, Rare tumor, Mesenchymal neoplasm, Nasal cavityAbstract
We report a rare case of a spindle cell tumor presenting as a nasal mass. Spindle cell tumors are rare, mesenchymal or epithelial tissue-originating neoplasms, typically affecting the skin, subcutaneous soft tissues, calcaneus, and breast. Nasal involvement is exceedingly rare. Our patient presented with a nasal mass, and radiology aided in detection. However, the tumor's nature remained unclear until surgical excision. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges and importance of considering spindle cell tumors in the differential diagnosis of nasal masses. Keywords:Spindle cell tumor, nasal mass, rare case report, diagnostic challenges.
