Glomanigiopericytoma is a rare vascular neoplasm with a perivascular myoid phenotype. It is rarely found in the neck but most commonly in the nose and paranasal sinuses. We experienced a case of 72-year-old man who presented a 5-year history of a right neck mass. The pathologic diagnosis was glomangiopericytoma. We removed the mass transcervically and the patient showed no postoperative problem. We report this case with a review of literature.

Leiomyoma is a benign tumor arising from smooth muscle cells. They are commonly found in the uterus, skin, and gastrointestinal tract. However, it is rare in the head and neck area. Especially, only 3% of leiomyomas in the head and neck area occur in the nasal cavity. Rhinologists need to know leiomyoma as a differential diagnosis of the tumors in the nasal cavity. Herein we present two cases of angioleiomyoma in the nasal cavity and review the literature.

There are many different kinds of histological types of nasal masses. But there were few studies based on the clinical consideration of benign nasal neoplasms in comparison with its histologic types. In this study we compare and analyze the benign nasal neoplasm in wish to guide for a diagnosis and management. Twenty-seven patients with benign nasal neoplasms excluding inverted papilloma, antrochoanal polyp and dentigenous cyst from March 1996 and June 2003 were selected for this study. Their clinicopathologic records were reviewed retrospectively. The male-female ratio was 1 : 1.25 and the right to left ratio was 1 : 1.7. Bening nasal neoplasms were frequently found in the fifth decade. Hemangioma was the most common benign nasal neoplasm. Nasal obstruction was the most common symptom. Benign nasal masses were frequently found at the inferior turbinate and vestibule. When the masses were found, they were smaller than 1 cm in most cases. An endoscopic and transnasal approach was the most commonly utilized approach method during surgery. There were no recurrent cases during the average 41 months follow up. In conclusion, there is no statistical significance between benign nasal neoplasm and the patient's sex and age. But, they were frequently found in left side rather than the right side. Surgical treatment seemed to be extremely useful in the case of benign nasal neoplasms.

We report CT and MR imaging findings for a case of nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma occurring in a 19-month-old boy. A nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma is a rare benign pediatric hamartoma that can simulate malignancy. Although rare, knowledge of this entity is essential to avoid potentially harmful therapies.
