Abstract
- A hemangioma is a kind of benign tumor which occurs mostly on the skin of the head and neck, but it is a relatively rare in the nasal cavity. We report a case of a mixed hemangioma of left nasal cavity. A 41-year-old man was presented with frequent epistaxis and progressive left sided nasal obstruction about for 2 months. A physical examination revealed a large polypoid necrotic mass in the left nasal cavity originated from the middle turbinate and extended inferiorly to the nasal floor. He was required to get immediate punch biopsy and then the lesion is characterized pathogenically to a mixed hemangioma. After preoperative embolization, mass was completely excised through the endoscopic technique. There is no evidence of recurrence after 6 months from the operation.
