A 39-year-old male presented with a mass arising from the nasal columella for last 8 months. The mass was lobulated, dark red in colour, firm in consistency and approximately 3 cm in diameter. It was attached to the columella of the nose by a narrow stalk. The mass was excised completely under general anaesthesia and histopathological examination suggested it to be a case of capillary haemangioma.
