    <abstract locale="en_US">Benign fibrous histiocytoma is a rare tumor of nose and paranasal sinuses that originates from histiocytes. &#x200E;&#x200E;The main symptoms of patients are nasal obstruction and nasal mass. &#x200E;Our patient was presented with chief complaints of nasal obstruction and rhinorrhea non responsive to antibiotic treatment. In computed tomography scan a giant mass in left maxillary sinus and ipsilateral nasal cavity was seen. After en bloc resection of tumor by transnasal endoscopic approach all of patient&#x2019;s symptoms were alleviated. The pathologic report was benign fibrous histiocytoma. &#x200E;Because of excellent visualization, it seems that transnasal endoscopic approach is the method of choice for resection of these benign tumors.</abstract>
