Analysis of the Clinical characteristics of Nasal vestibule Masses

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics of nasal vestibule masses. Methods: We retrospectively ana- lyzed the clinical data of 89 cases of nasal vestibule masses treated during the period of July 1998-May 2012. Results: The 89 cases of nasal vestibule masses all had benign lesions. Among them, 82 cases had nasal vestibule cysts, 4 cases had papilloma, 1 case had non-specific inflammatory mass, 1 case had neurilemmoma, and 1 case had fibroma. All pa- tients were treated by surgery, without intraoperative and postoperative complications. One case of papilloma had recur- rence 1 year after the surgery, and was cured after the second surgery. Conclusion: Nasal vestibule masses are mostly benign lesions, and surgery is the preferred treatment.
