A 59-year-old man from Denmark received an unusual diagnosis when he visited the doctor to complain about a stuffy nose and the gradual loss of his sense of smell over the last two years.

Doctors at the Aarhus University Hospital found a mucous-covered mass on the floor of the man’s nasal cavity after a CT scan, reported Livescience.com. They suspected that it was a dermoid cyst—a saclike growth that could have hair or other features—or an impacted tooth.
