The glomus tumor, or glomangioma, is a hyperplastic or hamartomatous lesion of the glomus body. It is composed of vascular channels surrounded by characteristic "epithelioid" cells, which are probably derived from smooth muscle. Glomus tumors rarely occur in the head and neck. We encountered the fifth documented case, to our knowledge, of a glomus tumor presenting in the nasal cavity. Although the lesion in this case was asymptomatic, intranasal glomus tumors producing nasal obstruction, pain, and epistaxis have been described. The complete excision of a glomus tumor normally cures the condition.
血管球瘤，又称血管球血管瘤，是一种血管球的增生性或错构瘤性病变。它由被特征性“上皮样”细胞包绕的血管通道组成，这些细胞可能来源于平滑肌。血管球瘤很少发生于头颈部。据我们所知，我们遇到了鼻腔内血管球瘤的第五例文献记载病例。尽管该病例中的病变无症状，但已有文献描述过引起鼻塞、疼痛和鼻出血的鼻腔内血管球瘤。血管球瘤的完整切除通常可治愈该病。
