Abstract

The finding of intranasal ectopic or supernumerary tooth although have been reported in the past, is still considered a rare presentation. It may remain silent for a long period of time, before manifesting with nasal symptoms. We report the case of a 33-year-old lady with an ectopic pre-molar tooth in the floor of her right nostril, presenting with intermittent epistaxis and foul-smelling nasal discharge. She was referred for a rhinolith in her nose. The tooth was successfully extracted via intranasal endoscopic approach.
