Post-nasal space oncocytoma: a different approach to a rare tumour

Oncocytomas are rare tumours that occur predominantly in the major salivary glands, particularly the parotid of older individuals. We present the exce ptionally rare occurrence of an oncocytoma in the post-nasal space and its treatment for the first time via a Le Fort I osteotomy. The potential for l ocal spread to the surrounding skull base makes it vital to achieve good on cological clearance. We found that this was possible using the Le Fort I te chnique and would recommend that this approach should be considered in futu re, when approaching such lesions.
