title: Nasal chondroma: a case report.
abstract: Chondromata of the nose are rare. Since it was first described by Morgan in 1842 (cited by Kilby and Ambegaokar, 1977), 131 cases have been recorded in the world literature. We present an unusual case of histologically proven benign chondroma arising in the nasal vestibule, treated by excision and repair of the defect with a composite free graft from the ear.
