  • Title: Glomangioma of the nasal cavity. Case report and literature review.
    Author: Arens C, Dreyer T, Eistert B, Glanz H.
    Journal: ORL J Otorhinolaryngol Relat Spec; 1997; 59(3):179-81. PubMed ID: 9186975.
    Abstract:
    A case of glomangioma of the nasal cavity and the literature concerning this rare tumor are reported. Differential diagnosis, symptoms, pathogenesis and therapy are discussed. This uncommon benign neoplasm is seldom located in the upper respiratory tract. It originates from proliferating arteriovenous capillary anastomoses. Intranasal glomus tumors produce nasal obstruction, epistaxis and sharp pain. The treatment of choice is complete excision of the tumor. The prognosis is excellent when the glomangioma is completely removed.
