Abstract
The nasal cavity presents with various types of neoplasms, including epithelial and mesenchymal tumors. Cavernous hemangioma of nasal cavity is quite rare. It usually presents as a unilateral mass arising from mucosa of nasal cavity.Case Report We describe here, a case of 25-year-old serving soldier, who was referred to our hospital with a mass in both nasal cavities with bilateral nasal obstruction. On examination, the mass originated from the inferior aspect of inferior turbinate of both sides. Subsequently on histological examination after complete endoscopic excision revealed that the mass was a cavernous hemangioma arising from both inferior turbinates.Discussion To our knowledge, this is the first case of cavernous hemangioma arising from both inferior turbinate reported in literature.
