Abstract
Background: Congenital nasal masses, although rare, pose significant clinical challenges, particularly in neonates.
These masses may be benign or malignant, and careful monitoring and early intervention are essential to avoid
complications. This case report describes a male neonate with a congenital growth at the tip of his nose.
Material and Methods: We report the case of a 1,5-year-old child who were treated for nasal growth in our unit,
inclusive, were reviewed retrospectively. Information recorded included medical history, clinical characteristics,
diagnostic procedures, treatment methods, and the outcome.
Results: At six months mass was removed under general anesthesia without complication. This case highlights the
importance of early diagnosis and timely surgical treatment for congenital nasal masses, ensuring both functional
and cosmetic benefits.
Conclusion: Congenital nasal masses, though rare, require careful monitoring and timely intervention to prevent
complications.
