Nasal glioma is a rare and benign congenital defect. This condition is diagnosed usually at birth time and requires early treatment to prevent facial deformations. We report three patients with nasal glioma that were diagnosed and treated at Otorhinolaryngology Department of Clinics Hospital of São Paulo University, and discuss clinical aspects, complementary exams, treatment and follow-up for each case. The first case was female, who presented a solid mass getting off left nasal fossae. The second case was male and presented cleft palate with a solid mass occupying the oral cavity. The third patient was male and had a solid mass over nasal pyramid. After surgical resection, all cases showed nasal glioma. Nasal congenital midline mass may be difficult to diagnose before histopathology, but is necessary to make an effort to do the correct diagnosis, letting an accuracy prognosis and appropriate surgical treatment.
