Summary

We report the case of a 4-year-old boy who presen-ted with a congenital mass on the bridge of his nose. A magnetic resonance study failed to rule out a com-munication of the tumor with the cranial cavity. The lesión was totally removed. Histopathological study of the excised mass showed a peripheral zone of fibrous-connective tissue with a core of glial and neuronal ele-ments. We discuss the origen of these masses and their relation to nasal cephaloceles. We suggest that this type of lesions should be included within the broader spec-trum of atretic cephaloceles.

Key words:
Nasal glioma
Nasal cerebral heterotopia
Nasal cephalocele

Resumen

Se presenta el caso de un niño de 4 años con una tumoración congénita en la raíz nasal. La resonancia magnética no pudo descartar comunicación de la lesión con la cavidad craneal. La lesión fue extirpada en su totalidad. £1 estudio anatomopatológico de la tumoración mostró una zona periférica de tejido fibro-conectivo y un centro compuesto de células gliales y neuronas. Se comenta el origen de estos tumores y su relación con el encefalocele nasal. Sugerimos que este tipo de lesión debería incluirse dentro del amplio grupo del cefalocele atrésico.

Palabras clave:
Glioma nasal
