ABSTRACT
We report a case of a 39year-old man who presented with history of bleeding from left nasal cavity on and off for 2 weeks. Examination of the nose revealed a fleshy mass arising between the nasal septum and middle turbinate of left nasal cavity. Diagnostic nasal endoscopy was done which showed a fleshy mass arising from the middle turbinate of the left nasal cavity. Excision biopsy was done and sent for histopathological examination. CT head and neck was done which showed no evidence of tumor in the pharynx or any metastatic spread to adjacent structures. So the tumor was of pure nasal origin. Based on the CT findings and histopathological report the diagnosis of LEC NC was made.
