This report is an unusual case of facial asymmetry caused by a foreign nasal body in adult, which is destitute of complications, connected to long-term presence of the intranasal button. The finding was accidental; moreover the patient was an adult and did not present a clear symptomatology. Through careful clinical and fibroscopy exam, valuating also the site of the foreign body, it is necessary an intranasal surgery treatment. The results of the treatment is connected to a combined use of different branches of learning with the aim of obtaining positive results from both a clinical and legal point of view.
