Abstract

A nasal hemangioma is a rare lesion that causes intranasal bleeding. When endoscopically removing an endonasal hemangioma, the minimization of bleeding is imperative to optimize visualization and decrease complications. Many methods can be used to decrease bleeding during endoscopic removal, including cautery and embolization. We treated one patient with a hemangioma arising from the mucosa of the right inferior turbinate, which was removed successfully using a minimally invasive endoscopic endonasal technique with radiofrequency coblation to minimize bleeding. Herein we report this case and review the literature.
