ABSTRACT

We report the case of an 89 year-old female patient, with a choanal polyp originating from the nasal septum. A review of the literature was done. The clinical, radiologic and pathological features of the disease are reviewed. Nasal polyposis is a chronic inflammatory upper airway disorder that affects 1 to 4% of the population. Most polyps originate from the nasal lateral wall. Polyps originating from the nasal septum with choanal extension are extremely rare; only three cases have been reported in the literature.
