Abstract

Vascular tumours of the nasal cavity are uncommon and are either hamartomas or ture neoplasms, mostly benign. We present an unusual case of angiomyolipoma of the nasal cavity. The harmartomatous lesion is often described in the kidney and may be associated with tuberous sclerosis. To our knowledge, there is no previous report of the lesion in the nasal cavity, and no association with tuberous sclerosis has been demonstrated in this case.
