Summary:A 68-year-old female complained of nasal bleeding. Rhinoscopy revealed a dark red-colored tumor with a relatively regular surface in the left nasal cavity. The large tumor 5×4×3cm in size and 28g in weight was surgically removed with lateral rhinotomy under general anesthesia. Its origin was confirmed to be the lower part of the nasal septum.
