Impacted fish bone in the larynx masquerading as laryngeal papillomatosis: Report of a rare case
We report a rare case of impacted fishbone in the larynx that was first treated as suspected laryngeal papillomatosis based on direct laryngoscopy and histopathological findings. However, during endoscopic laryngeal microsurgery with microdebrider, we found a fish bone embedded in the substance of polypoidal mass that was located at the left posterior commissure. We believe that the fish bone was likely a migration from left hypopharyngeal area from fish bone ingestion 2years ago, causing a polypoidal lesion.

Schwannoma of the nasal septum
We presented a 31year old female patient. At physical examination a pale gray, smooth polypoid lesion obstructing the right nasal cavity was detected. Midfacial degloving and endoscopic approach were combined for surgical treatment. The tumor was originating from posteromedial area of the septal nasal cartilage, close to the bony cartilaginous junction. Postoperative histological examination of the specimen showed a benign tumoral growth consisting of spindle shaped cells and immunohistochemical staining of the tumor proved septal schwannoma.
