A nine month old male child presented with a swelling protruding from the right nasal cavity for two months. Other symptoms were mild breathlessness during suckling and blood stained nasal discharge. CT Scan sshowed a mass arising from the lasteral wall of the right nasal cavity with mild erosion of the adjacent bones. The tumor was excised with wide margin through a lateral rhinotomy approach under general anaesthesia. In histopathological examination it was found to be a low grade neurofibrosarcoma. The child recovered well and is free from any recurrence till the time of reporting.
