Lobular Capillary Hemangioma (LCH) is a benign, rapidly growing, vascular lesion of the skin and mucous membranes. It usually involves lips, gingiva, tongue and buccal mucosa. Involvement of nasal cavity is a rare presentation. In the nasal cavity, anterior part of nasal septum is the most frequently affected site. It commonly occurs in the third decade, and in females. The etiology until now remains obscure. The usual presenting symptoms are nasal obstruction and epistaxis. Endoscopic surgical excision is the preferred treatment of choice. In the present case, we describe a 14-year old male with left sided nasal obstruction due to a growing mass in the left nasal cavity. This case is reported for its rarity, and typical clinical and microscopic findings.Downloads
