A woman in her 70s with a history of radiation therapy for a nasal cavity lymphoma 15 years prior presented with complaints of chronic right nasal obstruction and right epiphora. She denied epistaxis or pain. She described having undergone 2 surgical procedures in the interim for occluded nasolacrimal duct, at 1 year and 8 years after treatment.On nasal endoscopy, a smooth, pink, friable mass was seen abutting the posterior aspect of the right inferior turbinate and extending to fill most of the nasopharynx. This mass was visible through the left choana as well. There was also an erythematous irregular area, smaller than 1 cm, on the right lateral nasal wall, corresponding to the orifice of the nasolacrimal duct. The middle turbinates were intact, and no other lesions were seen. The oropharynx and oral cavity were clear, and findings from fiber-optic laryngoscopy was normal. Orbital examination revealed right epiphora without additional abnormality.Maxillofacial computed tomographic (CT) imaging along with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head were performed. Coronal CT image with bone window (Figure, A), sagittal T1-weighted image without contrast (Figure, B), coronal T2-weighted (Figure, C), and contrast-enhanced, fat-saturated, T1-weighted ( Figure, D) images are presented for interpretation. The patient was brought to the operating room for biopsy.
