A 9-month-old baby girl from Orissa was brought to our hospital by her parents for removal of the large mass of tissue on the baby’s nose. The parents gave a history of the tissue mass appearing on the nose a few weeks after she was born. The nodule was initially small in size and later grew to the present size. The tissue mass on the nose was affecting the baby’s appearance and the parents were very worried about this abnormality.
Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji successfully performed the excision biopsy. The entire mass of tissue was surgically excised from the base of the nodule to ensure complete removal. The surgical site was sutured. The baby’s facial appearance greatly improved after removal of the unsightly mass from the nose. A biopy of the mass tissue proved to be nasal glial heterotopia.
