Abstract: Purpose: To report a rare case of nasal chondroma presenting as hypertelorism.<br />Case Report: We report a case of a 16-year-old boy with a large calcified mass arising from the posterior nasal cavity presenting as hypertelorism. Surgical excision was done, and the histopathological examination revealed a chondroma. The hypertelorism resolved postoperatively.<br />Conclusions: Nasal chondroma may also present innocuously as hypertelorism as in this case.
