Lobular Capillary Haemangioma of Nose: A Case Report

Abstract

BACKGROUNDNasal lobular capillary haemangioma is a rare benign tumour of nose. Its exact cause is not known but it is commonly seen during pregnancy, patient taking oral contraceptives or with a history of trauma. (1) Its most common location is the head and neck region. The nose is a rare location. It is a rapidly growing lesion of the skin and mucous membrane. It has no predilection f or age, but it is common in third decade and in females. Its most common symptom is nasal obstruction and epistaxis. Here, we present a case report of 28-year-old male patient who presented with (L) nasal obstruction and (L) nasal discharge with no history of nasal bleed since 3 months. The diagnosis of capillary haemangioma must always be kept in mind when dealing with nasal mass, which is rapidly growing even though it is rare.
