[Clinical analysis of the primary nasal septum mass in 253 cases].
OBJECTIVE
To study the methods of the surgical treatment for the nasal septum mass.


METHODS
Two hundred and fifty-three cases of nasal septum mass were treated by surgery in our department from March 1983 to August 2007. Their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.


RESULTS
After follow-up, most cases had no postoperative recurrence of nasal obstruction and epistaxis.


CONCLUSIONS
If the diagnosis was confirmed, the effect of the surgical treatment for the nasal septum benign tumor is satisfactory. Follow-up should be done in cases with malignant tendency and malignant tumors.
