Abstract

Sinonasal intraosseous cavernous hemangioma is an uncommon vascular bone tumor with clinical, radiological, and histologic characteristics that differ from soft tissue hemangioma. This case comprises an exceptionally rare intraosseous cavernous hemangioma that develops from the nasal bone. A 66‐year‐old male patient appeared with a protruding left nasal bone region and epiphora. A complete surgical excision was accomplished through a rhinotomy incision. Histological investigation revealed an intraosseous cavernous hemangioma. The patient was pleased with the cosmetic outcome, and no recurrences were detected during the 18‐month follow‐up.
