Abstract

<p>Intraosseous hemangioma is a rare disease, accounting for 0.5% to 1% of all osseous neoplasms. If only osseous neoplasms in the cranium and facial bone are oconsiderd, this disorder would account for only 0.2% for all cases.</p><p>We describe the case of a 48-year-old female who was referred to our hospital, complaining of nasal congestion and excessive lacrimation. CT of the nasal and paranasal space showed a honeycomb appearance of the left inferior nasal concha. We performed surgical excision, and postoperative histopathology revealed the diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma.</p><p>For the treatment of hemangioma of a facial bone, one of several strategies may be used, including surgical excision, embolization, laser ablation, or observation. The selection needs to be made on a case-by-case basis. If the tumor is complicated by hemorrhage, cosmetic problems or mass effect, surgical excision is needed as soon as possible. In our case, we chose excision because of excessive lacrimation caused by the tumor.</p><p>The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient has shown no recurrence and symptomatic improvement during the two years since the surgery.</p>
