A man suffered from intense itching in his nose for months before he finally decided to see a doctor: what the specialists found shocked everyone
For several months, the man experienced severe itching in his nose. He eventually decided to seek medical help, as he could no longer endure the constant sneezing and the feeling that something was stuck inside. Neither home remedies nor over-the-counter sprays helped. At first, he thought it was an allergy — to dust or perhaps related to his dusty workplace — but when the itching started to drive him mad, his patience ran out.
He couldn’t work or sleep properly. So he finally went to see a doctor.
The doctor performed an initial examination but found nothing unusual. However, the man insisted the symptoms were too strong and had lasted too long. A more detailed diagnosis was ordered, including an X-ray and a CT scan.
What the images revealed shocked even the most experienced specialists. Continued in the first comment
In the nasal passage, a dense, irregular foreign object was clearly visible.
Under general anesthesia, the doctors performed an endoscopic removal. What they extracted left everyone stunned: it appeared to be an overgrown piece of bone or a fully formed tooth, covered with a hard outer layer.
No one could believe their eyes.
Lab analysis confirmed it was indeed a tooth, which had developed in the nasal cavity due to a rare medical condition known as a chondro-osteoma or ectopic tooth.
Such cases are extremely rare, but documented in medical literature worldwide.
After the removal, the man felt immediate relief. The itching was gone, he could breathe freely again, and life regained its color.
The doctors declared the case unique and shared it with the medical community. The man was simply happy to finally be free from a problem that had plagued him for nearly two years.
