Abstract
Granulomas of the foreign-body type were discovered incidentally in tissue removed from the nasal cavity for various indications. All of the patients had received preoperative intranasal injections of a steroid preparation to decompress the obstructing mucous membrane. The granulomas have a distinctive appearance and should be recognized in order to obviate erroneous diagnoses of infections or collagen diseases. The granulomas are apparently innocuous.Keywords
