Foreign body ingestion is commonly encountered by otolaryngologists. Most foreign bodies in the upper airway can be easily removed via direct endoscopy; however, if they penetrate the soft tissue deeply, both localization and retrieval may be challenging. Here, we report on the successful removal of multiple sewing needles from the throat using intraoperative, real-time C-arm fluoroscopy to guide endoscopic extraction. The use of intraoperative, real time C-arm fluoroscopy to guide endoscopic extraction allowed quick, safe treatment and avoided any development of complications in our patient.

We report on a case of neurofibroma arising from the nasal vestibule. A 73-year-old male had complained of progressive swelling of nasal vestibule over 10 years. Sinus endoscopy and computed tomography presented the mass in the nasal vestibule. We resected the mass and the pathologic diagnosis was the neurofibroma. Neurofibroma arising in the area of the nose is extremely rare. We discuss the clinical and pathological characters of neurofibroma arising in the nasal cavity.
