Abstract:
Cavernous hemangioma of the nasal bones is a rare benign tumor. 31 cases have been published in the world literature. The tumor appears as a firm swelling involving the nasal bone, adjacent tissues are uninvolved. The CT scan is helpful in defining tumor characteristics and extent. In most cases surgery appears curative without major cosmetic deformation. We present a case of nasal bones hemangioma where a coronal flap approach was used for tumor resection and cranial bone grafts for reconstruction.
