Abstract:
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Hemangioma of the nasal cavity is an uncommon benign vascular tumor. This study aimed to analyze the clinical manifestations, radiologic findings, treatment modalities, and outcomes of intranasal hemangiomas. SUBJECTS AND METHOD: Retrospective reviews of the medical record were performed on 13 patients, who were treated for intranasal hemangioma from 2005 to 2014. RESULTS: Of the 13 patients identified, there were seven males and six females ranging from 11 to 80 years of age (mean age of 48.1+/-21.5). Epistaxis was the most common presenting symptom. Most common site of origin was the inferior turbinate. CT scans showed variable enhancement of the nasal mass without bony erosion. Preoperative diagnosis accuracy rate was 76.9%. The tumor was histopathologically classified as follows: capillary hemangioma (n=6, 46.1%), cavernous hemangioma (n=3, 23.1%), venous hemangioma (n=2, 15.4%), and mixed hemangioma (n=2, 15.4%). Endoscopic excisional surgery (n=11, 94.6%) and local excision (n=2, 15.4%) were performed for complete removal of the hemangioma. Preoperative selective embolization was performed on one patient. No evidence of recurrence after the surgery was observed. CONCLUSION: Intranasal hemangioma was usually found to occur in the inferior turbinate and the most common symptom was epistaxis. Capillary hemangioma was the most common type. Complete excision was recommended to prevent recurrence.
