Abstract
- Myospherulosis is an unusual foreign-body reaction usually occurring in tissue exposed to petrolatum-based products. Since the initial description of myospherulosis of the paranasal sinus by Kyriakos in 1974, reported cases have been increasing. All of the lesions described by Kyriakos were located in the paranasal sinuses, nose, middle ear, or upper eyelid. However, there had not been any cases of myospherulosis reported in Korea. We report a case of myospherulosis in the nasal septum with a review of the related literature.
