Nasal cavity hemangioma is a relatively rare benign tumor; barely
2-3% of all benign
neoplasms are nasal hemangiomas.
This study demonstrated that the most common clinical
presentations of nasal
hemangioma are epistaxis and nasal obstruction. However, the
correct diagnosis cannot
always be evident, as nasal septum hemangioma can appear with
unusual symptoms
such as septal perforation and recurrence of disease. Atypical
manifestation can simulate
other diseases. Although nasal septum hemangioma is usually
manifested with common
symptoms, it is always necessary to perform a diligent clinical
examination. This
occurrence with unusual clinical manifestations of the nasal
septum hemangioma was
reported in two cases. In the first case described here, a 63-
year-old female having a
septal hemangioma and a septal perforation, with a history of a
breast cancer. The
second case was a 27-year-old female presented with a septal
hemangioma and a septal
perforation, as well. Both patients had no previous operations in
the nasal cavity. We
discuss incidence, localization and etiology features of this
pathology.
