Abstract
MASOT LEON, B.; ESCUDERO NAFS, F.J.; RUIZ DE AZUA CIRIA, Y. and NIETO RAMOS, H.. Cavernous hemangioma of the nasal bones: a case report. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2018, vol.41, n.3, pp.381-385. Epub May 22, 2019. ISSN 1137-6627. https://dx.doi.org/10.23938/assn.0370.
Cavernous hemangiomas represent less than 1% of all bone tumours, with the vertebrae and the skull being the most common locations. These tumours are extremely rare in the bones of the nose, with very few cases published in the medical literature, where they have been reported in turbinates, vomer, nasal bones or perpendicular lamina of the ethmoid. They usually present as a tumour lesion that grows over time, involving the bone and even the soft tissues, which can cause complications such as nasal obstruction, bleeding, ulcerations and infection. We present the case of a 37 year-old patient with a cavernous hemangioma located in the bones of the nose, reviewing the most notable aspects of this rare tumour.
