| Abstract | ||
| background: Haemangiomas, are rapidly growing benign vascular tumors rarely seen in paranasal sinuses. They are of two major types, capillary and cavernous depending on the dominant vessel size on microscopy. The sinonasal cavity is an uncommon site of haemangiomas of the head and neck. Most nasal haemangiomas arise from the nasal septum or vestibule and are of lobular capillary type. Only a few arise from lateral wall of the nose or the inferior turbinate and these are usually cavernous. Objective: To assess the sinonasal haemangioma and to increase awareness about its clinical presentation and management. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in the Department of ENT at Al-Hussein Teaching Hospital, Karbala, from December 2013 to December 2015. Ten cases of sinonasal haemangiomas were collected. Evaluation of the patients done according to age, sex, occupation, complaints regarding headache, nasal obstruction, epistaxis, nasal discharge, feeling of nasal mass ,radiologic assessment and pathologic diagnosis . Endoscopic sinus surgery was performed under general anesthesia for all patients, the masses excised completely and sent for histopathological study. Results: Ten patients were collected. Four patients were males and six patient females with female to male ratio 1.5:1. The age range was 14 to 50 years with a mean age of 32 years. Nine patients (6 females) and (3 males) presented with nasal obstruction and epistaxis. Four patients with left sided nasal obstruction, five patients with right sided nasal obstruction, and only one patient with absolute bilateral nasal obstruction without epistaxis. Conclusion: Sinonasal haemangiomas are extremely rare especially cavernous type. Sinonasal tumors with bone erosion should not always be presumed to be malignant .Endoscopic sinus surgery with complete removal is the treatment of choice. | ||
