In this case, a 50-year-old male patient, Mr. Jeyapal with a-year-long progressive left side nasal obstruction and purulent rhinorrhea, is presented [1]. The CT reveals a mass filling the left nasal cavity. During surgical intervention, the mass is found to originate from the medial side of the septum anteriorly and inferiorly. The pathological examination reveals capsulated tumor with palisading cellular arrangement and high cellular density [2]. The pathological findings and nervous origin of the tumor are discussed after an extensive review of the literature.展开更多

The syndrome associations consist of C-coloboma of the eyes, H-heart disease, A-atresia of the choanae, R-retarded growth and development, G-genital hypoplasia/genitourinary anomalies and E-ear anomalies and/or hearing loss. All anomalies are not seen in every case and a varied spectrum of associations is seen in most of the cases. The exact incidence is not known. However, the reported prevalence is approximately 1:10,000 births. We report one such case.展开更多
