Abstract
Hemangiomas are the most common vascular lesions in early childhood. More than half of the cases involve head and neck. The case of 1 patient consulted following an epistaxis associated with a unilateral nasal obstruction. The CT and nasal sinus angio-MRI (Figure-2) objectified a heterogeneous mass of the posterior wall of the cavum, Cerebral arterography evoked a hemangioma with the presence of a vascular blush, There was no enlargement of the spheno-palatine hole. A preoperative embolization was performed to prevent massive intraoperative bleeding. Surgical management consisted of an exclusive endoscopic endonasal removal of the tumor. Histologically, mixed hemangioma is characterized by the association of lobular proliferation consisting of a central vessel surrounding smaller vessels in the breast of a stromafibromyxoıde and sinusoid lakes with blood throats.
