Lobular Capillary Hemangioma of the Nasal Cavity: A Retrospective Study on 40 Patients

Abstract

To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest series of patients with nasal LCH. When the mass is considerable in size, differentiation from other hypervascularized lesions may be intriguing. Under these circumstances, information obtained with imaging may sometimes suggest a correct diagnosis without resorting to biopsy. Endoscopic surgery is the treatment of choice even for large lesions, that do not require preoperative embolization.

Hemangioma cavernoso gigante de seno maxilar: Reporte de un caso y revisión de la literatura

“…La región cervicofacial es un sitio común para la formación de hemangiomas en adultos siendo los labios, mejillas, frente y cuello los lugares más frecuentemente afectados 4 ; cuando se presentan en la cavidad nasal, 85% es en el tabique nasal anterior y 15% en la pared lateral 5 ; el tipo histológi-co predominante es capilar 6,7 . Son excepcionales en senos paranasales con pocos casos reportados a nivel mundial siendo la mayoría de tipo cavernoso [8][9][10][11][12] .…”

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Sinonasal Endoscopy in Pediatric Patients

“…The disease most often occurs in the third decade of life, with a female predominance (El-Sayed & al-Serhani, 1997;Maroldi et al, 2005), whereas its occurrence in pediatric populations has been only rarely reported . The most common symptoms of LCH of the nasal cavity are recurrent unilateral epistaxis, nasal obstruction, and nasal discharge; facial pain, hyposmia and alteration of smell, and headache are rarely present (Ozcan et al, 2004;Puxeddu et al 2006). At nasal endoscopy, the lesion usually appears as a single reddish hypervascularized polypoid mass that bleeds easily (Fig.…”

“…Although several factors (i.e., nasal trauma, hormonal influences, viral oncogenes, underlying microscopic arteriovenous malformations, and the production of angiogenic growth factors) have been advocated to favor this disorder, its etiopathogenesis remains unknown (Puxeddu et al, 2006). In the head and neck area, the lesion commonly occurs in the oral cavity (gingiva, lips, tongue, and buccal mucosa), whereas involvement of the nasal cavity is rare (Simo et al, 1998;Ozcan et al, 2004).…”

Hemangioma of the nasal septum: A review of the literature and clinical cases

“…Отсутствуют поло-вые различия в частоте обнаружения опухоли у лиц старше 40 лет [3]. По другим данным, гемангиомы чаще обнаруживались у субъектов старше 35 лет, не-зависимо от половой принадлежности [12,13].…”

“…Считается, что определенную роль в возникно-вении этого новообразования могут играть микро-травмы слизистой оболочки при тампонаде носа или вследствие трансназальной интубации, однако четкой корреляции между этими факторами и нали-чием гемангиомы не выявлено [3,4,13]. В качестве еще одной вероятной причины возникновения ге-мангиомы полости носа рассматриваются измене-ния эндокринного фона в период беременности [5,13,14].…”
