LOBULAR CAPILLARY HAEMANGIOMA OF NOSE: A CASE REPORT

BACKGROUND Nasal 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 for 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.
