Angiomyolipomas are benign tumors composed of blood vessels, adipose tissue, and smooth muscle. Usually, these lesions are located in the kidney and are found in association with tuberous sclerosis. The current case describes the rare presence of an angiomyolipoma within the nasal vestibule, leading to nasal obstruction. Surgical resection of the lesion was curative, and the patient's nasal congestion improved postoperatively. Consistent with previous findings in the literature, the patient's angiomyolipoma had not recurred at subsequent postoperative visits.
血管平滑肌脂肪瘤是由血管、脂肪组织和平滑肌组成的良性肿瘤。通常,这些病变位于肾脏,且与结节性硬化症相关。本病例描述了鼻前庭内罕见的血管平滑肌脂肪瘤,导致鼻塞。手术切除该病变可治愈,患者术后鼻塞症状改善。与文献中先前的发现一致,患者的血管平滑肌脂肪瘤在后续术后随访中未复发。
