Abstract

Introduction: Pleomorphic adenoma in nasal cavity is rare and extremely rare in nasal vestibule.

Case: Fifty-year old male patient came with recurrent swelling in the right nasal vestibule who had undergone excision twice in past with diagnosis ofpleomorphic adenoma.

Discussion: Only with high index of suspicion can diagnose pleomorphic adenoma and hence can avoid recurrence from tumour spillage or incomplete excision as repeated surgery involving the ala and nasal vestibule can lead to poor cosmetic outcome.

Keywords: Nasal vestibule, pleomorphic adenoma, Recurrent
