title: An unusual foreign body in the nose of an adult.
abstract: We present the case of a 50-year-old-man with nasal blockage and recurrent epistaxis. Anterior rhinoscopy showed a polypoidal mass which bled on touching. It was confirmed by non contrast computed tomography (NCCT) and extracted through the nasal route. Later it was found to be a tooth surrounded by a necrotic material.
