- Abstract
This article focuses on the treatment of a 56-year-old woman with anterior nasal pain and intermittent epistaxis. The woman presented with a history of borderline serous tumor of the ovary. In 1997 she had a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy. She did well until 2000 when she developed a papillary serous tumor implant in her peritoneum. In 2000 the patient was given 6 cycles of chemotherapy, from which developed a therapy-related acute myelogenous leukemia in September 2003. She became neutropenic, with intermittent fever, and she complained of nasal congestion, anterior nasal pain, and intermittent epistaxis. Endoscopic sinus examination revealed an anterior nasal septal necrotic lesion.
