Fibro-osseous lesion of the middle turbinate: ossifying XXXX or @entity82 ?

@entity1 @entity82 @entity146 @entity5 @entity1939 @entity81
@entity5 of the head and neck region seldom appear in the midface and nasal cavity. Correct differential diagnosis of @entity5 is crucial for adequate therapy, as their clinical @entity146 seems to differ. The rather uncommon case of a 14-year-old @entity1 with a @entity5 of the middle turbinate is presented. The radiologic appearance of the @entity5 , on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans, was consistent with @entity82 . Angiography revealed extensive vascularisation of the @entity5 from both the internal and external carotid arteries. To avoid @entity1939 following embolisation, a superselective embolisation of the supplying blood vessels was performed. The @entity5 was completely resected via an endoscopic approach. Histopathology revealed an ossifying @entity81 . This case emphasises the importance of interpretation of the clinical, radiological and histological features before planning definitive treatment. Moreover, when @entity5 are suspected, the possibility of extensive, complicated vascularisation must be considered. This case underwent radical resection, with no recurrence after four years' follow up.
