Introduction: Pleomorphic adenoma is a common benign salivary gland tumor, rarely occurring in the nasal cavity. These tumors, predominantly arising from the nasal septum, present diagnostic challenges due to their rarity and resemblance to other nasal masses.
Case Report: A 58-year-old male presented with an 8-month history of left-sided nasal obstruction and occasional epistaxis. Nasal endoscopy and imaging revealed a confined nasal septal mass, confirmed as pleomorphic adenoma on histopathology. The tumor was successfully excised via endoscopic surgery. After two years of follow-up, no recurrence was observed.
Conclusion: Though rare, nasal pleomorphic adenomas should be considered in unilateral nasal masses. Endoscopic excision ensures complete removal and favorable outcomes, with long-term follow-up necessary to detect recurrence or malignant transformation.
