Cutaneous Haemangioma Associated with Nasal Deformity

Area of Science:

• Dermatology
• Otorhinolaryngology (ENT)
• Pediatric Surgery

Background:

• Strawberry haemangiomas, also known as infantile haemangiomas, are common benign vascular tumors.
• While typically superficial, certain types can infiltrate deeper structures.
• Nasal involvement can lead to significant functional and aesthetic complications.

Observation:

• A case presentation of a strawberry haemangioma affecting the nasal septum is detailed.
• The lesion's aggressive nature led to the destruction of the nasal septum.
• This destruction resulted in a noticeable nasal deformity.

Findings:

• The reported case demonstrates a severe manifestation of strawberry haemangioma.
• Destruction of the nasal septum cartilage and bone by the vascular tumor is confirmed.
• The resulting nasal deformity underscores the potential for structural damage.

Implications:

• Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing nasal haemangiomas.
• Surgical or medical management may be required to prevent or correct nasal deformities.
• This case contributes to the understanding of rare complications associated with infantile haemangiomas.
