Abstract
- Osseous hemangiomas are uncommon, constituting less than 1% of all osseous tumors. The most frequent sites are the calvaria and the vertebral column. Involvement of the facial bones is rare, and occurs most commonly in the maxilla, mandible, and nasal bones. In nasal cavity, only one case of inferior turbinate involvement has been reported in the English-language literature. We report two cases of osseous hemangioma of the middle turbinate diagnosed by histopathologic confirmation. Because of their infrequent appearance in the nasal cavity, vague symptoms and unknown typical radiologic findings, these tumors can be missed in many cases or may be misinterpreted as other osseous tumors.
