Abstract
Postrhinoplasty nasal radix cyst is a rare late complication, with few cases being reported in the literature. The appropriate treatment for this cyst is surgical removal. To date, an open approach or intracartilagenous incision has been performed in most cases. Herein, we present a case of a 68-year-old man with a bulging mass of radix who visited our clinic. The patient underwent open surgery for the mass, but the mass recurred 2 years after surgery. Although removal using the open approach was planned as in the previous surgery, marsupialization was performed because a connection with the frontal recess was seen on a computed tomography scan. We report a rare case of nasal radix cyst successfully treated with marsupialization without an external scar.
