الوصف: Abstract Background Hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular tumor of the head and neck region characterized by proliferation of endothelial cells with epithelioid morphology. This is an indolent tumor known to appear during adult life, with potential for recurrence, but unlikely to metastasize. Although reports of endotheliomas affecting soft tissues, skin, viscera, bone, or lymph nodes have been reported, very few cases of hemangioendothelioma of nasal cavity have come to light, that too in adults only. Case presentation Authors here-in present an unusual case of hemangioendothelioma of nasal cavity in a 9-year-old girl with a 6-month history of intermittent epistaxis and nasal obstruction. The tumor was excised endoscopically under general anesthesia and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. Conclusions Wide excision is the treatment of choice. Regular follow-up is advised as potential for recurrence is high.
