title: [Pleomorphic adenoma of the nasal septum: a case report].
abstract: We report on a case of pleomorphic adenoma involving the nasal septum, in a caucasian woman aged 23, who presented with nasal obstruction and epistaxis. A swelling of the anterior part of the nasal septum was observed and a biopsy demonstrated the existence of a pleomorphic adenoma. CT scan and MRI investigation showed the lesion to be limited, and removal was therefore possible using an endonasal approach. No recurrence has been found after 22 months.
