title: Sinonasal myxomas and fibromyxomas in children.
abstract: Childhood sinonasal myxomas are frequently misdiagnosed and improperly treated, with consequent adverse results for the patient. Reasons for this are briefly discussed using illustrative case reports. When both clinicians and their consulting pathologists are familiar with this lesion, the best therapeutic outcome is more likely.
