Transnasal endoscopic removal of an ectopic tooth mimicking a rhinolith from the nasal cavity: a case report
Abstract :
The presence of ectopic tooth in the nasal cavity is a rare phenomenon and the etiology has not been fully elucidated. A 30 year-old female without risk factors presented with non-specific symptoms and was primarily considered as a rhinolith case. However, computerized tomography showed an ectopic tooth in the nasal cavity and the patient underwent transnasal endoscopic removal of the nasal tooth. Histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis.
