    We report a case of nasolacrimal tumor that was resected by transnasal endoscopic surgery. The patient was an 86-year-old woman with a main complaint of left unilateral nasal obstruction. Biopsy of a tumor of the inferior meatus was obtained, and the histological diagnosis was oncocytoma. The tumor was totally resected with the nasolacrimal duct and inferior turbinate by transnasal endoscopic surgery. There has been no recurrence to date. This case suggests that transnasal endoscopic surgery could be an alternative treatment for a benign nasolacrimal duct tumor.
