Abstract:
Intraosseous hemangioma arising from nasal bone is rare and has not been reported in the Korean literature. Hemangioma of the bone accounts for 0.7% of all bone tumors. The craniofacial region is a rare site of involvement, with mandible, zygoma, and maxilla being the most frequently affected areas. A 63-year-old male patient presented with complaints of a protruding mass on the nasal dorsum that began 10 years ago. Computed tomography demonstrated a round mass with honeycomb appearance involving the nasal bone. An en bloc excision of the mass and nasal reconstruction was performed. Histopathological examination showed increased number of large cystically-dilated vessels with thin wall lying between thin trabeculae of lamellar bone in marrow space. During a one-year follow-up, the patient had no recurrence and cosmetic results were excellent. A case report of an intraosseous hemangioma arising on the nasal bone is described, together with a discussion of the relevant literature.
