Significance Statement:
We present the rare case of a nasal lobular capillary hemangioma with bony erosion atypically localized to the left piriform aperture. This fast-growing lesion caused both physical and emotional distress due to recurrent epistaxis and prominent esthetic deformity evidenced by a large nasal growth. While the final diagnosis was benign, the clinical and radiological findings caused concern. This case serves as a reminder that prompt referral, work-up, and diagnosis are essential to optimize patient care.
