HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible if it grows that it may obstruct the passage of the nostril and affect the ability to breathe.
You would notice that there may be a sensation of nasal congestion.
There may or may not be associated pain as well depending on the size and effect on surrounding tissue.
It is also possible that it may extend in other directions.
These are only possibilities since the exact nature of the lesion is not known, it is possible that no growth occurs at all.
I hope this helps
