Abstract
Introduction
The simultaneous occurrence of a benign as well as malignant epithelial lesion, albeit incidental, is a rare occurrence. A multi stage procedure had to be adopted for the appropriate management of this patient.
Case Report
We report one such case of a 65 year old male who presented with a small black lesion on the left side of the nose and complains of left sided nasal obstruction on a much later date.
Discussion
The decision to address the benign pathology initially followed by the malignant pathology owing to its indolent course formed the cornerstone in the management of this patient.
