Abstract

Nasal gliomas are rare, benign, congenital masses more accurately referred to as sequestered glial tissue. The nasal glioma first described by Schmidt in 1900. Sixty percent of gliomas are extranasal, 30% are intranasal, and 10% are both. Extranasal gliomas are somewhat movable and usually do not increase in size when the child cries. Extranasal gliomas appear near the root of the nose. The overlying skin may be discolored or telangiectatic. We described two nasal gliomas, located extranasally. Histologically, the nodular tumor tissue resembled normal glial tissue. Immunohistochemical studies revealed the presence of glial fibrillar acidic protein (GFAP), indicating the glial nature of the tumor.
