Spontaneous Regression of a Large Nasal Hemangioma in a 55-Year-Old Male

Abstract

Lobular capillary hemangiomas (LCHs) are benign vascular lesions of the skin, oral cavity, and, rarely, the nasal cavity that are histologically characterized by capillary proliferation and a lobular architecture. The etiology of LCH is not well understood, but the possible underlying factors include trauma, hormonal influences, and angiogenic growth factors. This case report describes the spontaneous complete regression of an LCH without further surgery although it was incompletely excised. To our knowledge, this is a rare case for a middle-aged man.
