Ear Nose Throat J. 2012 May;91(5):E10-2. doi: 10.1177/014556131209100516.

Abstract

Lymphangiomatous polyp of the nasal cavity is a very rare condition. We are reporting a case of a unilateral nasal mass presenting with noisy breathing during sleep, change of voice, watery nasal discharge, and anosmia in a 5-year-old boy. The mass was removed via a transnasal endoscopic approach, and a diagnosis of lymphangiomatous nasal polyp was established by histopathology.
