  • Title: [The monthly interesting case -- case no. 64. Cavernous hemangioma].
    Author: Jungheim M, Chilla R.
    Journal: Laryngorhinootologie; 2004 Oct; 83(10):665-8. PubMed ID: 15476139.
    Abstract:
    An 89 year old female patient presented with severe epistaxis and nasal congestion on the right side. On endoscopic examination of the nasal cavity a reddish-bluish tumor has been seen that almost completely filled the posterior part of the cavity. In the MRI a highly vasculated tumor was shown. Performing transnasal endoscopic surgery the tumor was completely removed from the nasal cavity. On histopathologic examination the tumor turned out to be a cavernous haemangioma affecting the posterior end of the right turbinate. Cavernous haemangiomas in this region are very rare.
