| Popis: | An antrochoanal polyp, a common clinical entity, with a rare presentation is being reported. A 12 year old boy was brought to Accident and Emergency department with an unusual sudden presentation of polypoidal mass filling the oral cavity up to his incisors as a result of which he could not swallow and speak. Prior to this episode he had no complaints of the disease. An emergency removal was planned and only during the operation could it be diagnosed as a antrochoanal polyp because of its pedicle in the lateral wall of the nose, which was confirmed by histopathological examination. |
