“…However, its role remains controversial because a definite vascular supply cannot be identified in the majority of cases, and the benefits are small compared to the potential risks of embolisation 10 15. Furthermore, our case of an inferior turbinate cavernous haemangioma and those reported in the literature have not been associated with any significant bleeding 2 3 9 10. Therefore, vascular intervention is not required if the lesion can be removed en bloc with adequate resection margins 15 16…”

“…Symptomatic lesions may present with nasal obstruction due to the mass effect or, rarely, recurrent epistaxis. Epistaxis may occur less commonly than in other mucosal haemangiomas because the lesion is covered with normal mucosa 9. Pain is not usually a feature.…”

“…The most common sites for intranasal haemangiomas are the nasal septum, the lateral wall and the vestibule 8. Intraosseous cavernous haemangiomas account for <1% of primary bone tumours, and usually arise in the vertebral and calvarial bones 9. They are most common in women in their fourth and fifth decades 10.…”

Intraosseous cavernous haemangiomas usually occur in the vertebral and calvarial bones, and account for <1% of primary bone tumours. Nasal cavity intraosseous cavernous haemangiomas are extremely rare. We present a case of a 47-year-old woman with an incidental left inferior turbinate mass noted on CT scan for an unrelated pathology. She had no rhinological symptoms other than a 2-year history of left-sided nasal obstruction. Preoperative imaging failed to determine the aetiology of the mass. The lesion, contiguous with the left inferior turbinate, was successfully resected via an endoscopic approach. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen demonstrated a left inferior turbinate intraosseous cavernous haemangioma.

“…They are classified as either capillary, cavernous or mixed. Although hemangiomas are commonly found in the head and neck, hemangiomas of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are relatively uncommon with only a few case reports in the literature [1][2][3][4]. Both cavernous and capillary types of hemangiomas have been reported to occur in the sinonasal region.…”

“…Differential diagnostic considerations for the CT appearance of a nasal cavity hemangioma would include nasal polyp, antrochoanal polyp, inverted papilloma, hemangiopericytoma, lymphoma and esthesioneuroblastoma. Therapeutic options for these lesions vary although the most common is that of complete surgical resection via transnasal endoscopic approach [3,4]. Pre-operative embolization may be utilized in some cases to decrease the risk of intraoperative bleeding.…”

A 22 year old six month pregnant female presented with right eye tearing, proptosis and nasal congestion. CT revealed a large right nasal cavity mass with involvement of the ethmoids, right maxillary sinus, lamina papyracea, cribriform plate and nasal septum. There was significant remodeling of the right cribriform plate with mild extra-axial intracranial and mild intraorbital extension. Transnasal endoscopic excision confirming the diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma of the nasal cavity. Hemangiomas are benign slow-growing vascular neoplasms classified as capillary, cavernous or mixed. Hemangiomas of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are very rare with only a few reported cases. The occurrence and growth of these lesions during pregnancy may be related to increased blood volume or hormonal factors. The most common therapeutic option is complete surgical resection via transnasal endoscopic approach. Pre-operative embolization may be utilized in some cases to decrease the risk of intraoperative bleeding.Keywords: Cavernous Hemangioma, Nasal Cavity Case ReportA 22 year old female presented with several months of progressive right eye tearing, proptosis and nasal congestion. She was six months pregnant. Computed Tomography (Figures 1 and 2) revealed a 4.5 × 4 × 3.5 cm well circumscribed mass originating in the right nasal cavity, involving the ethmoids with remodeling of the medial wall of the right maxillary sinus, lamina papyracea, cribriform plate and nasal septum. The turbinates on the right were not visualized due to replacement by the mass. There was significant remodeling of the right cribriform

Rationale: Intraosseous hemangioma is a rare benign vascular tumor of the bone that can affect any body part; however, the most common site is the vertebra, followed by calvarial bones. Patient concerns: We present a case of intraosseous hemangioma in a 23-year-old male who presented a feeling of fullness in the throat for 3 months. The hyoid bone level had a hard mass of about 5 cm. Fine needle aspiration showed 5 mL dark bloody aspirates. Magnetic resonance image showed a 5.3 cm mixed signal intensity lesion in the hyoid body. Diagnosis: Histopathologic examination showed intraosseous hemangioma with aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC)-like changes in the hyoid bone. Interventions: The mass was completely removed without significant problems. Outcomes: Complete mass excision and symptomatic improvements were achieved, and no subsequent relapses were observed. Lessons: The authors experienced a case of intraosseous hemangioma with ABC-like changes. There has been no case report of intraosseous hemangioma in the hyoid bone. This case showed a spectral pattern of the ABC-like changes developing from the underlying bone tumor as a secondary change. ABC-like changes in bone tumors can mislead the diagnosis. Careful examination of the tumor is essential for the correct diagnosis of ABC or ABC-like changes.
