The reason for the loss of a man’s sense of smell was a tooth grown in his nose.

The usual symptoms of a nasal disease in a man turned out to be a unique medical case, as the doctors finally found out that the loss of smell was caused by a tooth growing in the patient's nose.

An 59-year-old man complained to doctors about a stuffy nose and a gradual loss of smell in the past two years. According to him, the usual drugs used to treat allergic or viral rhinitis did not help him, writes Fox News.

A man, whose name was not called, underwent a computed tomography scan at Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark, which revealed a growth-covered growth in his nasal cavity. Doctors first suspected a dermoid cyst, which may have hair or other bizarre features and take different forms.

But according to a study published in BMJ Case Reports 21 in February, when doctors surgically removed the tumor, they found that it was an extremely rare case of a stray tooth. This case is so rare that it is estimated by doctors that it occurs in the 0,1 – 1 percentage of patients.

“Nasal teeth are very rare and the symptoms of this anomaly vary. It may resemble other diseases such as chronic rhinosinusitis. Surgical removal is recommended to confirm the diagnosis and eliminate symptoms,” the report authors note.

According to them, the man's condition improved after the tooth was removed, but doctors are still not sure what caused the growth of the tooth, and how long it was in the patient's nose. Mostly a trauma or an infection leads to the appearance of a stray tooth, but, according to the man, he had neither the one nor the other.

“There are no obvious explanations in our case,” the report said.
