Hemangioendothelioma (HE) is a rare vascular tumor of endothelial cell origin that usually involves long bone or soft tissue. However, there are cases of head and neck involvement. In the literature, only 19 cases of nasal involvement are described. We report a case of an 18-month-old child who had HE of the ethmoid sinus. Endoscopic resection of the tumor was performed. The patient is well without any recurrence after 4 years of follow-up. Because of its rarity, the literature on HE in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus is reviewed and its management is discussed.
血管内皮瘤(HE)是一种罕见的起源于内皮细胞的血管肿瘤,通常累及长骨或软组织。然而,也有累及头颈部的病例。在文献中,仅描述了19例鼻腔受累的病例。我们报告一例18个月大患有筛窦血管内皮瘤的儿童。对该肿瘤进行了内镜下切除。患者在随访4年后情况良好,无任何复发。由于其罕见性,本文对鼻腔和鼻窦血管内皮瘤的文献进行了综述并讨论了其治疗方法。
