“…The unspecific clinical appearance makes it difficult to distinguish hemangiomas from other nasal tumors and malformations, including antrochoanal polyp, inverted papilloma, fibroangioma and lymphangioma [2,29]. In the presence of irregular mucosa, necrotic tissue or history of previous malignancy, a malignant origin should be suspected (metastases, hemangiopericytoma, hemangiosarcoma) and biopsy should be performed, after clinical-radiological analysis, to exclude a vascular lesion [6,33,34].…”

Hemangiomas are benign tumors originating in the vascular tissues of skin, mucosa, muscles, glands, and bones. Although these tumors are common lesions of the head and neck, they rarely occur in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Cavernous haemangioma of the lateral wall of the nasopharynx has not previously been reported. We examined the clinical, radiological and therapeutic management of cavernous haemangioma of nasopharynx starting from a clinical case of a 26-year-old woman with a history of recurrent and conspicuous epistaxis and left-sided nasal associated severe obstruction. Nasopharynx examination, by flexible endoscopy, showed a cystic mass borne by the left side wall of the nasopharynx, in contact with the soft palate, covered by intact and regular mucosa. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan, confirmed these findings and showed contextual lamellar calcifications and inhomogeneous enhancement. The nasal endoscopic approach (FESS), under general anesthesia, allowed removal of the mass, without complications, after careful hemostasis of arterial branches. It was possible to establish the precise site of origin of the tumor only during the surgical procedure. Histopathological study showed mucosa with extensive vascular proliferation, with framework of lacunar/cavernous haemangioma, also present at lamellar bone tissue level. An unusual site and an unspecific clinical appearance can make diagnosis and treatment of a cavernous hemangioma of the nasopharynx difficult. The nasal endoscopic technique proved to be reliable in terms of adequate exposure and visualization of the lesion, control of bleeding, and complete removal of the mass.

Haemangiomas of the nasal cavity are rare benign tumours which usually arise in the Kiesselbach triangle of the septum. Mostly they are seen in young population with peak age 20 years. Epistaxis is the most common symptom in these patients. We present a case of a 62-year-old woman with recurrent epistaxis. On examination she had had an obstruction of both nasal cavities. Computed tomography imaging demonstrated a well-defined tumour originating from the posterior tip of the right inferior turbinate, passing into the nasopharynx. The tumour was managed via endoscopic endonasal approach. The histological analysis revealed a tumour tissue with the appearance of a cavernous haemangioma as well as capillary haemangioma. A focus of intravascular endothelial papillary hyperplasia was also observed. In patients with endonasal benign tumours choice of surgical approach depends on the exact location of the tumour and suspected pathology. The transnasal endoscopic approach and bipolar cautery resection enable adequate exposure and visualization of the tumour, control of bleeding and complete removal of the tumour.
