Glomangioma in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.
The glomangioma is a hyperplastic lesion of the glomus body. This uncommon tumor is seldom located in the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses. We present what is to our knowledge the eleventh documented case of an intranasal glomangioma. The differential diagnosis of this lesion, its symptoms, pathogenesis and therapy are discussed. Complete excision is normally curative for this tumor.
