1/18. Case report of a bleeding nasal polyp during pregnancy.

    We report a case of pregnant woman who had a pyogenic granuloma that had caused chronic epistaxis for 1 week's duration. The lesion was excised and the patient recovered fully.

2/18. Lobular capillary haemangioma of the nasal cavity: observation of three specific cases.

    Lobular Capillary Haemangioma of the nasal cavity: observation of three specific cases. Lobular Capillary Haemangioma, unproperly called "Pyogenic granuloma", is a benign vascular tumour pedunculated on the skin and on mucous membranes of the oral and nasal cavities. Microtrauma and pregnancy are the most often evocated aetiologic factors. epistaxis and nasal obstruction are the most marked symptoms of this irregular and friable mass. We report three cases (two adult and one paediatric) of this pathology. Two have as trigger factor a nasal microtrauma, the third an oestro-progestative impregnation. A clinical, radiological and histological description allows us to expose the characteristics of this lesion that remains obscure to many rhinologists. Lobular Capillary Haemangioma has to be evocated in the differential diagnosis of each haemorrhagic endonasal mass.

3/18. Lobular capillary haemangioma of the nasal vestibule: a rare entity.

    The authors report a case of an 8-year-old boy with lobular capillary haemangioma (LCH) of the nasal vestibule presenting with nasal blockage, nasal discharge and epistaxis. LCH of the nasal vestibule is rarely reported in the English literature, and the authors feel that it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lesion of the nasal vestibule. Unnecessary investigations could be avoided if its diagnosis is considered, especially in children.

4/18. Nasal granuloma gravidarum presenting with recurrent massive epistaxis.

    Nasal granuloma gravidarum is a rare condition associated with pregnancy and minor trauma. This condition presents with a nasal mass with varying degree of bleeding and obstruction. We report a patient with nasal granuloma gravidarum in the third trimester of pregnancy. Surgical excision is the definite treatment for this condition in order to stop the vicious cycle of recurrent massive bleeding. Possible etiology, clinical features and management are discussed.

5/18. Pediatric lobular capillary hemangioma of the nasal cavity.

    Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH), also called pyogenic granuloma, is a benign vascular tumor that is pedunculated on the skin and the mucous membranes of the oral cavity. This disease occurs in all ages, but more often in the 3rd decade, and is seen in females more than males. LCH commonly appears in early childhood and affects males more than females in the pediatric age group. The gingiva, lips, tongue and buccal mucosa are the most common sites of mucosal LCH, but the nasal cavity is rare. Micro-trauma and hormonal factors are the most common etiologic factors. epistaxis and nasal obstruction are the most marked symptoms. We describe the case of a 6-year-old girl with intra-nasal lobular capillary hemangioma presented with epistaxis and nasal obstruction. This should be considered in the differential diagnosis of childhood endonasal masses with bleeding. Total excision using endoscopic technique is the treatment of choice.

6/18. February 2004: a 44-year-old man with a 2-year history of epistaxis.

    A 44-year old man presented with a 2-year history of epistaxis and a nodular lesion in the nasopharyngeal mucosa. neuroimaging revealed a midline nasopharyngeal tumor extending through the skull base to the clivus. Following surgical resection, histological studies showed a paraganglioma, a tumor with a typical nesting pattern, abundant capillary network, and strong immunoreactivity for neuroendocrine markers. Paragangliomas of the head and neck are rare tumors, which may come to the neuropathologist's attention because of their propensity for intracranial spread. In particular, paragangliomas located in the nasopharynx may generate diagnostic difficulties, as they appear to have no connection with major paraganglia in the region. Morphologic criteria do not allow distinguishing between benign and malignant forms.

7/18. A case of giant nasal pyogenic granuloma gravidarum.

    Pyogenic granuloma gravidarum occurs as oral or nasal lesions in approximately 5% of pregnant women. nasal mucosa is an unusual site for this lesion with few cases reported in the literature. A case of giant nasal pyogenic granuloma gravidarum that required radical excision through an open rhinotomy after superselective embolization is described. The patient had a good cosmetic result and a satisfactory airway when she was seen for follow-up 1 year after surgery. Giant pyogenic granuloma gravidarum is best managed with a multidisciplinary approach involving radical excision after preoperative superselective embolization for safe and complete removal of the lesion.

8/18. Lobular capillary hemangioma of the nasal cavity in child.

    Although the head and neck is not an uncommon region, the nasal cavity is extremely rare sites for lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) in children. The authors report a case of an 11-year-old boy with LCH of the nasal cavity presenting with nasal obstruction and epistaxis. To our knowledge, on searching the English literature, only nine cases of hemangioma of nasal cavities have been reported in children since 1985. The authors feel that it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lesion of the nasal cavity.

9/18. Look before you pack: key point in epistaxis management.

    We report a patient with epistaxis who used cotton wool to pack his nose before reaching the hospital, and underwent further packing in the accident and emergency department, which probably pushed the cottonwool further back. This led to the formation of foreign body granuloma inside the nasal cavity. It is difficult to examine the nose without proper equipment and experience, and the examination is more difficult in the presence of active bleeding to find a foreign body such as cotton wool. Hence, it is important to ask the patient about any temporary pack they have used in the nose and to look for and remove it before inserting a proper pack. It is also important for trainees to have a better understanding of the different levels of management of epistaxis. Hence, we propose the term "epistaxis management ladder" for easy understanding of the treatment of epistaxis.

10/18. Lobular capillary haemangioma of the middle turbinate.

    Lobular capillary haemangioma (LCH) is a benign, vascular lesion of unknown origin. It usually affects skin and mucous membranes of the oral cavity. It rarely occurs in the nose. Microtrauma and hormonal factors are considered in the aetiology. The most frequently seen symptoms of nasal LCH are epistaxis and nasal obstruction. LCH can be pedinculated or wide based. Its size ranges from several millimetres to centimetres. LCH cases secondary to postoperative use of nasal packs have been reported. Here we present an LCH which was located on the middle turbinate and occurred after the usage of nasal packing. It is known that the nose is a rare location for LCH but middle turbinate location has not been described so far in the literature. LCH should be considered in the differential diagnosis of all endonasal masses with bleeding.
