Abstract
Nasal cavity and paranasal sinus cancers are less commonly detected tumors of the head and neck region. Within this region, the nasal septum is a rare location for the occurrence of such malignant tumors. Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the nasal septum can be detected as a polypoid mass without any significant finding. We intend to present a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the nasal septum which was successfully treated with surgical excision and radiotherapy.
