After necessary base line investigation a biopsy was taken. Biopsy revealed only necrotic material. There after two successive biopsy also showed the only necrotic material.
Owing to inconclusive biopsy report. Complete excision of mass through Caldwell Lucs approach was done and specimen sent for histopathological examination.
