Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare benign tumor mostly found in the metaphysis of long bones. In rare cases, it develops in unusual locations. We report a case of chondromyxoid fibroma from the nasal septum. Endoscopic surgery was performed with the patient under general anesthesia. A plasma knife was used to ablate the tumor. No recurrence was noted at the 4-year follow-up. The advantages of endoscopic surgery include direct observation, improved visibility and magnification, reduced intraoperative trauma, and fewer postoperative complications. The advantages of the plasma knife include its ability to separate and ablate the tumor simultaneously while effectively reducing bleeding and maintaining the visibility of the surgical field.
