76-year-old female

01

The Finding

A 76-year-old female without significant medical history had previously undergone excisional biopsy by an oral surgeon for removal of a soft tissue lesion in the left nasal valve, with a reported diagnosis of a nasal cyst. The patient returned to the surgeon a year later with inflammation in the nose. Upon reviewing the scan, the radiologist identified that the lesion had not been completely removed and had in fact increased in size. The surgeon was notified, and the patient underwent further surgery.
