Description

<p>Pyogenic granuloma is a benign tumor that involves the skin and mucosa and is characterized by inflammatory cell infiltration and capillary hyperplasia. It often develops rapidly, and the most frequent symptoms are recurrent nasal bleeding. We encountered a case of pyogenic granuloma that deviated from the nasal cavity. A 76-year-old woman who was taking aspirin and clopidogrel due to angina pectoris presented with recurrent right-sided epistaxis and swelling of the bridge of the nose. A physical examination revealed a dark-red tumor that deviated from her right nasal cavity. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed that the tumor was 30mm in size and strongly contrasted with gadolinium. The base of the tumor was at the nasal septum, so we performed endoscopic nasal tumor resection under general anesthesia. The histological findings showed pyogenic granuloma, and there has been no recurrence for five years postoperatively.</p>
