Résumé
Osteoma is a slowly growing benign tumor composed of compact or cancellous bone and usually found in paranasal sinuses. Lobular capillary hemangioma is a rapidly growing lesion usually affecting skin and oral mucosa. Both lesions may occur at any age group but most frequently in the third decade. The authors experienced a case of concurrent osteoma and lobular capillary hemangioma in the middle turbinate, which were removed via endonasal endoscopic approach. Concerning our case, we speculate that the slow growth of the osteoma may have caused inflammatory change on nasal mucosa, resulting in lobular capillary hemangioma. We report a case with a review of literatures.

Mucous membrane plasmacytosis is a rare benign condition characterized by plasma cell infiltration of the mucosa of upper aerodigestive tract. The lesions typically produce a cobblestone or warty appearance of the larynx, pharynx, palate, lips, mouth, tongue and trachea. Histologically, the lesions are characterized by a diffuse expanse of inflammatory cells situated in submucosal tissues, composed mainly of mature plasma cells with scattered polymorphonuclear cells and lymphocytes. Immunohistochemistry for kappa, lambda light chain showed polyclonal immunoglobulin content in all cases examined. A variety of medical and surgical treatments have been tried but none has led to improvement in the condition. In this study, we report, with a review of literature, a mucous membrane plasmacytosis arising from oropharynx in a 30 year-old female patient.
