Hemangiomas of the nasal tip.
The treatment of nasal hemangiomas is controversial. Results of nonsurgical treatment methods have been disappointing. In a series of 42 patients with nasal hemangioma, 22 patients underwent early excision. The open rhinoplasty approach proved safe and effective and yielded satisfactory long-term results. The article discusses protocols for evaluation and guidelines for treatment.
