Abstract
BURKHARDT, Willfred and BEJARANO, Kabethliz. Giant nasal vascular leiomyoma: Transnasal endoscopic management. Report of a case and review of the literature. Colomb. Med. [online]. 2006, vol.37, n.4, pp.319-322. ISSN 1657-9534.
An intranasal vascular leiomyoma is extremely rare. Less than 1% of all leiomyomas originate in the head and neck area, and of these, only 3% are found in the nasal cavity. The most common symptoms are nasal obstruction, epistaxis and pain. A rare case of nasal vascular leiomyoma that developed in a 35 year old woman is reported. Transnasal endoscopic sinus surgery to perform a resection on the biggest nasal vascular leiomyoma ever found was made.
