title: Management of nasal hemangiomas.
abstract: Infantile hemangiomas commonly involve the nose. Because of the nose's prominence as an aesthetically and functionally sensitive area, management of these lesions has important implications. The available options including medical therapy, lasers, and surgery are reviewed with recommendations specific to nasal tip and lobule lesions based on the senior author's (M.H.) experience.
