Abstarct

The clinicopathological features of a rare case of osteoblastoma of the nasal cavity arising from the nasal turbinate are reported and compared with four reported cases of osteoblastoma with nasal cavity involvement. Two of the five tumours involved the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. The remaining three tumours were confined in the nasal cavity; one arose from nasal bone and two from nasal turbinate periosteum. Four tumours were successfully treated with local excision. One tumour recurred locally after excision; the recurrence was apparently controlled by further local excision.
