[Myxoma of the external nose]. 1978

P Mirejovský, and L Konecný

A male bus-driver aged 45 had a proboscoid mass on the tip of his nose removed after three year's duration of the disease. Microscopically, the tumour appeared to be a myxoma with marked mucus accumulation extending subepidermally and leading to the formation of lacunes lined with fibroblasts.
