Abstract
Background/Aim: Abrikossof’s tumor or granular cell tumor is a rare tumor. The cervicofacial localization is the most common. The aim of this report case was to show a rare case of nasal localization, to the 48-year old patient, treated in poor medical condition. Case presentation: The patient consults late with enormous nasal mass involving for five years. After biopsy and facial CT-scan, a surgical procedure was performed. The evolution was good and the final pathology confirms the diagnosis. The objective of this case report was to show the originality of the presentation and the difficulties for management in poor medical environment. Conclusion: Abrikossof’s tumor is a rare benign tumor but whose preferential development occurs at the expense of the ENT sphere. Large forms remain the preserve of poor environments. The diagnosis is pathological and the treatment is surgical.
