title: Intranasal foreign body mimicking a fat-containing lesion.
abstract: We present a 21-month-old child with a foreign body (an intranasal almond) measuring fat attenuation on CT. To the best of our knowledge, this appearance has not been previously described and can be confused with other diagnoses resulting in inappropriate or delayed treatment.
