title: [The rare case of nasal glioma].
abstract: The authors presented a case of nasal glioma in an adult man which had performed as nasal polyp. Histopathologic studies confirmed neuroglial tissue--Astrocytoma fibrillare. These tumor cells were immunohistochemically positive for glial fibrillary acidic protein as well as for S-100 protein and vimentin. There was no communication between the tumor and the cranial cavity on radiological examination (TC, MRI). Treatment is usually surgical. In this article authors describe a case of a nasal glioma that was removed via a lateral rhinotomy.
