“…Till 2004, only 23 cases of Sinonasal Leiomyomas had been published in literature [1,3,15] whereas [11] have reported the occurrence of only 30 cases in English language literature and 49 cases in Japanese literature. In a study of 256 cases of non epithelial tumours of nasal cavity and PNS, only 8 mesenchymal tumours were seen out of which two cases were Leiomyomas and 6 cases were Leiomyosarcoma [8].…”

Leiomyomas are benign tumours which are presumed to arise from vascular smooth muscle in the nasal cavity. They are rare in nasal cavity but are commonly encountered in GIT, female genital tract (uterus). The rarity of these tumours in nasal cavity is evident from the fact that less than 45 cases have been reported till date. We report a 45 years old male with Leiomyoma of the nasal cavity with brief review of literature.

“…9 Incidence of leiomyomas from the turbinates is higher than in other locations of the nasal cavity due to the abundant vascular smooth muscle elements present in the turbinates. 10 Leiomyomas can develop from nasal septum, [10][11][12] inferior turbinate, 1,13 superior turbinate, 7 nasal vestibule, 2,14 nasal flor, 15 choana, 3 nasal cavity. 8 Also there have been only three cases of leiomyoma involving the paranasal sinus in the literature.…”

Paranazal sinüsler ve nazal kaviteden kaynaklanan vasküler leiomiyomParanazal sinüslerden ve nazal kaviteden kaynaklanan vasküler leiomiyomlu nadir bir olgu sunuyoruz. Leiomiyomlar düz kas›n bulundu¤u herhangi bir yerde olabilen kas kaynakl› selim tü-mörlerdir. En s›kl›kla mide ve uterusta meydana gelir. Burun ve paranazal sinüslerin leiomiyomu nadir bir tümördür. Vasküler leiomiyomda tedavi cerrahidir. AbstractWe present a rare case of vascular leiomyoma -developed in a 69-year-old man -arising from nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Leiomyomas are benign tumors of myogenic origin that may occur wherever smooth muscle is present. They occur most frequently in the stomach and uterus. Leiomyoma of the nose and paranasal sinus is a rare tumor. Treatment of the vascular leiomyoma is surgery.
