Abstract

  We present a case of a 38-year-old male presented to our cancer screening camp with a slow growing mass in his left nasal cavity for past one year with complaints of difficulty in breathing through the left nostril. After clinical, radiological and haematological evaluation, the mass was surgically removed, and normal breathing was restored.
