Abstract

Oncocytic sinonasal papilloma, also known as oncocytoma or oncocytic Schneiderian papilloma is a rare benign tumor that typically arises from the Schneiderian epithelium lining the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. There are three types of papillomas, of which oncocytic papillomas are the least common. It constitutes 3–5% of all the papilloma cases. Here we present a rare case report of a patient who was an 85-year-old female presented with shortness of breath and a slight obstruction in the nasal cavity, which she felt on the right side. She was examined clinically as sinonasal mass. A CT scan was performed, and surgical excision was suggested. After surgical removal tissue was sent for histopathological evaluation and a diagnosis of oncocytic papilloma was made.
