Abstract

We report the imaging features of a rare sinonasal myxoma situated over the right nasolacrimal duct in a 5-month-old male. We emphasize the importance of including sinonasal myxomas in the list of differential diagnostic possibilities when encountering a nasolacrimal gland mass in an infant, and describe the CT and MRI characteristics of this rare entity.
