title: "Cyrano nose" associated with hepatic hemangiomas successfully treated with propranolol.
abstract: Hemangioma of the nasal tip is commonly described as "Cyrano nose" and his treatment is extremely difficult because of its location and possible severe aesthetic complications like definitive nasal deformation. We describe a patient who presented at two months of age with a "Cyrano nose" associated with multiple hepatic and cutaneous hemangiomas, which completely resolved after therapy with propranolol. Treatment was well tolerated and aesthetic result was excellent.
