Epithelioid Hemangioma of the Nasal Cavity: A Diagnostic Challenge

Abstract

Abstract Epithelioid hemangioma also known as angio-lymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia is a rare benign vascular neoplasm of unknown etiology. It always poses a diagnostic challenge for clinicians and is usually misdiagnosed as Kimura’s, IgG4-related disease or malignant vascular tumors. The present case report describes an extremely rare presentation of epithelioid hemangioma inside the left nasal cavity causing complete obstruction and nasal septal deviation towards the right side in a young male. The case highlights a non-conventional presentation of epithelioid hemangioma and the importance of histo-morphological features in the diagnosis of this entity.
