A curious case of a man’s seemingly typical nasal symptoms landed in a medical journal after doctors discovered that a tooth growing in his nose was the actual culprit. His doctors suspected a dermoid cyst, which can take on a strange appearance and have hair or other bizarre features. The case is so rare, that doctors estimate it occurs in just 0.1 to 1 percent of patients. “A retained nasal tooth is rare, and the symptoms are variable,” the authors noted in the report’s abstract. Trauma or infection to the area may result in a misplaced tooth or developmental issues, but this man had neither, LiveScience reported.
