ABSTRACT
Mucoceles are expansile, encapsulated, benign cystic lesions with the potential for adjacent bony remodeling and resorption. Paranasal mucoceles predominantly develop in the frontal sinuses (60%), followed in frequency by the ethmoidal (20-30%), maxillary (10%), and sphenoid (2-3%) sinuses. Nasal septal mucoceles develop in only very seldom cases. Septal mucoceles might develop from infected nasal septum or trauma. In the differential diagnosis of a midline septal mass, dermoid cyst, encephalocele, meningocele or intraseptal abscess should be considered. We present a case of nasal septal mucocele, which was managed by endoscopic excision and marsupialization.
