“…The latter are the ones with the most intracranial connection, which occurs in 35% of cases. 2,5,7,10,[15][16][17] Also called glial nasal heterotopy, due to the non-neoplastic nature of the lesion, gliomas are not considered hereditary. Some authors believe there is a predilection for the tumor in males, in a ratio of 3:2.…”

Introduction Nasal gliomas - or nasal glial heterotopias - are rare congenital malformations, which correspond to 5% of the congenital nasal masses. It is a mass composed of mature glial tissue that can be located outside, inside or near the nasal region, and may or may not be connected to the brain by a fibrous pedicle. This report addresses a case of nasal glioma that suffered recurrence after endoscopic treatment. Case Report A 1-year-old boy has, since birth, a mass inside the left nostril, which obstructs and widens the bridge of the nose. Upon physical examination, it is observed that the mass does not increase in size with crying and presents negative transluminescence and Furstenberg test. Upon being biopsied, the lesion reveals malignancy and the presence of inflammatory cells. MRI ruled out communication with intracranial structures. The endoscopic resection of the heterotopia removed a mass of 3,0 × 2,5 × 1,7 cm, whose histological and immunohistochemical analysis revealed glial pattern cell proliferation in the nasal mucosa. Conclusion Considering that nasal glial heterotopy is frequently present at birth, and that newborns breathe predominantly through this route, early diagnosis of the lesion is of great importance, as it can cause signs and symptoms of respiratory distress. In addition, it is worth noting that the early approach also prevents bone deformities.

“…They are benign, congenital, and often located in the midline. [ 1 ] Nasal glial heterotopias (NGHs), previously also known as nasal gliomas, as the name suggests, are the displacement of mature glial tissue as a mass inside (intranasal) or outside the nose (extranasal) without connection to the cranial cavity. Root of the nose is the most common location in case of extranasal glioma.…”

Glial heterotopias are the displacement of neuroglial tissue in extracranial sites. Nasal glial heterotopias can be of three types-extranasal, intranasal and mixed. Root of the nose is the most common location. These are rare anomalies with an incidence of 1 case in 20,000–40,000 live births. Here we report the case of a 6-month-old infant with a congenital mass located at the root of the nose. Non-contrast computed tomography studies showed no evidence of intracranial communication of the lesion. The mass was excised, and on histopathological examination, it showed glial tissue with astrocytes in a fibrillary background and fibroconnective tissue. Masson’s trichrome stain showed the red staining of the glial tissue, whereas the background fibrosis was stained blue. On immunohistochemistry, glial fibrillary acidic protein was positive. Hence, the diagnosis of nasal glial heterotropia was made. The patient had an uneventful postoperative period.
