Cavernous haemangioma of the left nasal cavity

Cavernous haemangioma of the nose is a rare lesion but it has to be added to the differential diagnosis of an intra-nasal bleeding mass. A high index of suspicion, upon computed tomography delineation of the extent of the mass, including the presence of bone remodelling plus histological evaluation...

More Information
Summary:Cavernous haemangioma of the nose is a rare lesion but it has to be added to the differential diagnosis of an intra-nasal bleeding mass. A high index of suspicion, upon computed tomography delineation of the extent of the mass, including the presence of bone remodelling plus histological evaluation can be usefully employed to define an accurate diagnosis. In the present case of an adult female with a huge cavernous haemangioma arising from the mucosa of the left middle nasal meatus, the two most interesting points were the rarity as a site of occurrence of this tumour and the successful extirpation of this lesion with the minimally invasive trans-nasal endoscopic technique. We recommend the minimal invasive trans-nasal endoscopic technique for adequate exposure, sufficient control of bleeding and for complete removal of a nasal haemangioma reaching the nasopharynx and paranasal sinuses.
