ABSTRACT
Vascular tumors as such are rare in the nasal cavity. Few cases of lobular capillary hemangioma, cavernous hemangioma and epitheloid hemangioendothelioma have been reported in the nasal cavity. But, there are no reports of spindle cell hemangioma occurring within the nasal cavity. They usually present as subcutaneous nodules in the extremities. A case of recurrent bleeding polypoid lesion in the left nasal cavity, arising from the middle turbinate which showed features of spindle cell hemangioma is reported for its rarity and unusual presentation. The tumor was excised by minimally invasive transnasal endoscopic approach.
