Lobular capillary haemangioma is a rare vascular lesion of the nose. It is the aim of this communication to highlight the importance of considering this lesion as an important differential diagnosis of bleeding lesion in the nasal cavity.
A case report of a 41-year-old female who presented with an obstructive, bleeding, pedunculated left nasal mass arising from the nasal septum in the anterior nasal cavity. An initial diagnosis of squamous papilloma was made and she had excision of the mass done under local anaesthesia. Tissue histology revealed lobular capillary haemangioma. The patient has been followed up for over 15 months and is still free of the lesion.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature of lobular capillary haemangioma in the nasal septum in West Africa. The case is reported due to the rarity of this lesion in our environment.
小叶状毛细血管瘤是一种罕见的鼻部血管病变。本文旨在强调将该病变视为鼻腔出血性病变重要鉴别诊断的重要性。
一名41岁女性患者，其鼻腔前部鼻中隔出现一个阻塞性、出血性、带蒂的左侧鼻腔肿物。初步诊断为鳞状乳头状瘤，患者在局部麻醉下进行了肿物切除。组织病理学检查显示为小叶状毛细血管瘤。该患者已随访超过15个月，病变仍未复发。
据我们所知，这是西非地区关于鼻中隔小叶状毛细血管瘤的文献中首例报告。报告该病例是因为在我们所处环境中这种病变较为罕见。
