Abstract
Nasal lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) is a benign lesion, exact etiology of which is not known and it is commonly associated with pregnancy, oral contraceptives and trauma. Nasal obstruction and epistaxis are the symptoms which are commonly found in patients of nasal lobular capillary hemangioma. Skin and mucous membrane are the common location for lobular capillary hemagioma and it is usually solitary. The occurrence of lobular capillary hemangioma is rare in the nasal cavity[2].
Hormonal factors and trauma are supposed to be the common factors[2]. We present a case of lobular capillary hemangioma, which was located in the anterosuperior part of nasal septum on left side. We recommend to consider this rare entity in differential diagnosis of bleeding nasal mass.
