Popis: Although rare tumors, chondromas will on occasion be encountered by the otolaryngologist in his routine daily practice. The authors describe a nasal myxochondroma in an 8-year-old child, which was removed satisfactorily surgically, with no signs of recurrence even after 4 years of follow-up. Because chondromas may also present as nasal polyps, the knowledge of cartilaginous tumors in the nose plays a pivotal role for a better approach to these patients.
