ABSTRACT
Sinonasal fibromyxoma is a rather rare neoplasm and occurs in less than 1% of tumors. In the literature, there is a description of only 8 cases of this pathology in children. The article describes a clinical case of sinonasal fibromyxoma in a 14-year-old child with complaints of persistent severe difficulty in breathing through the left half of the nasal cavity, periodic tear stagnation on the left for 14 months, and dysphonia. The results of endoscopic diagnosis of ENT organs, computed tomography of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, the stages of the performed elective surgical intervention (polypectomy, left-side endoscopic sinusitis with sinus sanitation, turbinoplasty of the left middle nasal concha) are presented in detail, as well as the conclusions of the histological examination of the lesion removed from the patient. The authors analyzed domestic and foreign literature data on this problem, based on which they presented in the article a differential series of myxoma.
