## TL;DR

A rare case of nasal bone cavernous hemangioma was successfully treated with surgery and showed no recurrence after 18 months.

## Contribution

This is an exceptionally rare case of intraosseous cavernous hemangioma originating from the nasal bone.

## Key findings

- Complete surgical excision through a rhinotomy incision was effective for treatment.
- The patient had a satisfactory cosmetic outcome with no recurrence during 18 months of follow-up.
- The tumor showed distinct clinical and histological features compared to soft tissue hemangioma.

## 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.
