Abstract

A neurogenic tumor is comparatively rare among non-epithelial tumors arising from the nasal cavity.The patient was a 30-year-old woman who complained of frequent epistaxis. A nasal cavity hemangioma was suspected by various image examinations. We resected the tumor after embolization of nutrient blood vessels under DSA. The pathologic examination revealed a ganglioneuroma. The ganglioneuroma is a tumor that originates from the sympathetic nervous system, like the ganglioneuroblastoma and the neuroblastoma. The ganglioneuroma is a benign tumor showing differentiation in the highest degree as a sympathetic nervous system origin tumor.
