Abstract

Blue nevi are uncommon lesions of skin and mucosa. Most of these occur in skin. Only occasionally they are seen to involve mucosa. Sinonasal mucosa is one of the rarest of the sites for these lesions to occur. Only four such cases have been reported in international literature till date. We report here one such case which we came across.
