비순부 종물 형태로 발현된 피하 해면상 혈관종 1예

초록

Hemangiomas are the most common vascular tumor of the head and neck region, but rarely involve the sinonasal cavity. The majority of these lesions present as a benign tumor of the skin and mucosa. Moreover, most nasal hemangiomas occur in the nasal septum or vestibule. The authors experienced a case of subcutaneous cavernous hemangioma that occurred from right nasolabial fold in a 40-year-old man, which was successfully treated by sublabial approach. We expected the tumor as a radicular or nasolabial cyst because of its location, clinical feature, and radiologic findings. However, the final pathologic diagnosis was cavernous hemangioma. We present the clinical characteristics, radiologic findings, and treatment of a subcutaneous hemangioma with a review of the literature. Korean J Otorhinolaryngol-Head Neck Surg 2010;53:386-9
