Resumen
RODRIGUEZ LOPEZ, Yamisel; QUINTERO NOA, Julianis Loraine; MARES VILLASENOR, Norma Andrea y HERNANDEZ-CORDERO, María del Carmen. Unusual presentation of congenital pleomorphic adenoma of the nostril in a newborn. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2022, vol.94, n.1 Epub 08-Abr-2022. ISSN 1561-3119.
Introduction:
Pleomorphic adenoma is the most frequent benign neoplasm in the salivary glands; its location in the upper airways is rare.
Objective:
Describe the unusual presentation of a nasal congenital pleomorphic adenoma, not previously described in Cuba.
Case Presentation:
A rare case of a newborn with clinical data of nasal obstruction hours after birth is presented. Previous studies and biopsy result of the intranasal tumor determined congenital pleomorphic adenoma. Tumor excision was performed by endoscopic nasal surgery.
Conclusions:
Pleomorphic adenoma should be considered a differential diagnosis at all ages. Suspecting should be normal when a patient has symptoms of unilateral obstruction or epistaxis. Early diagnosis allows timely treatment with a less invasive endoscopic surgical approach and a lower rate of recurrence. This tumor stands out for its potential recurrence or malignant transformation, so it is important to maintain endoscopic and imaging surveillance.
