Main Article Content
An intranasal vascular leiomyoma is extremely rare. Less than 1% of all leiomyomas originate in the head and neck area, and of these, only 3% are found in the nasal cavity. The most common symptoms are nasal obstruction, epistaxis and pain. A rare case of nasal vascular leiomyoma that developed in a 35 year old woman is reported. Transnasal endoscopic sinus surgery to perform a resection on the biggest nasal vascular leiomyoma ever found was made.
