A Rare Cause of Recurrent Epistaxis: Lobular Capillary Haemangioma
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Nasal lobular capillary haemangiomata are rare benign nasal tumours of vascular origin and unknown etiology. They tend to occur in both sexes depending on the age group. They usually present with unilateral nasal obstruction and recurrent epistaxis. They are usually treated by excision after having embolized the feeding vessel. We present a case of nasal lobular haemangioma we encountered and treated by pernasal excision biopsy without prior embolization since the initial consideration was fungal sinusitis.
