Description

A 30-year-old woman suffered from bloody nasal discharge and nasal obstruction. Flexible fiberscopic examination disclosed a tensioned and smooth mass in the nasopharynx. CT and MRI revealed a nasopharyngeal mass and a shadow in the paranasal sinus. Complete excision of the cyst was performed through the oral route, and bilateral endoscopic sinus surgery was carried out.<br>According to the macroscopic, radiological and pathological findings, this case was diagnosed as Tornwaldt's disease. The cyst was probably formed by chronic sinusitis which had stimulated the pharyngeal bursa.
