Local triamcinolone acetonide injection for treatment of nasal tip cysts

摘要

Background: Cysts of the nasal tip are rare and have only been described in case reports. In most cases, such cysts were surgically excised. We treated a cyst of the nasal tip by local injection of triamcinolone acetonide. Objective: We herein describe a patient with a nasal tip cyst that was treated by local injection of triamcinolone acetonide. Methods: This is a case report with a relevant literature review. The cyst of the nasal tip was suctioned using a syringe, and triamcinolone acetonide was injected into the cyst and peripheral tissue once weekly. Results: The patient was treated regularly, and the cyst disappeared after 3 weeks. Conclusion: To our knowledge, the only previously reported treatment for cysts of the nasal tip is surgical excision. Injection of triamcinolone acetonide may be the preferred treatment for small cysts.
