Abstract

Intraosseous haemangiomas are uncommon, constituting less than 1% of all osseous tumors. Involvements of the facial bones are rare, and most commonly affects the maxilla, mandible and nasal bones. We report a case of an intraosseous hemangioma of the anterior end of the inferior turbinate associated with soft tissue extension. The management and pathogenesis of this case is discussed. The case is followed up for 9 years without recurrence or other related complication. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the English literatures of this pathological entity in this location with this long term follow up.

Keywords: Haemangioma; nasal turbinate; facial bones.
