Lobular capillary haemangioma of the nasal vestibule: a rare entity.
The authors report a case of an 8-year-old boy with lobular capillary haemangioma (LCH) of the nasal vestibule presenting with nasal blockage, nasal discharge and epistaxis. LCH of the nasal vestibule is rarely reported in the English literature, and the authors feel that it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lesion of the nasal vestibule. Unnecessary investigations could be avoided if its diagnosis is considered, especially in children.
