ABSTRACT
Los hemangiomas cavernosos representan menos del 1% de todos los tumores óseos, siendo las vértebras y el cráneo las localizaciones más habituales. Estos tumores son extremadamente raros en los huesos de la nariz, con muy pocos casos publicados en la literatura médica, descritos en cornetes, vómer, huesos propios o lamina erpendicular del etmoides. Suelen presentarse como una lesión tumoral que crece con el tiempo, implicando al hueso e incluso a tejidos blandos, pudiendo causar complicaciones como obstrucción nasal, sangrado, ulceraciones e infección, entre otras. Presentamos el caso de un paciente de 37 años con un hemangioma cavernoso localizado en los huesos propios de la nariz, revisándose los aspectos más destacados de este raro tumor
Cavernous hemangiomas represent less than 1% of all bone tumours, with the vertebrae and the skull being the most common locations. These tumours are extremely rare in the bones of the nose, with very few cases published in the medical literature, where they have been reported in turbinates, vomer, nasal bones or perpendicular lamina of the ethmoid. They usually present as a tumour lesion that grows over time, involving the bone and even the soft tissues, which can cause complications such as nasal obstruction, bleeding, ulcerations and infection. We present the case of a 37 year old patient with a cavernous hemangioma located in the bones of the nose, reviewing the most notable aspects of this rare tumour
