They tend to occur in both sexes depending on the age group. They usually present with unilateral nasal obstruction and recurrent epistaxis. They are usually treated by excision after having embolized the feeding vessel. We present a case of nasal lobular haemangioma we encountered and treated by pernasal excision biopsy without prior embolization since the initial consideration was fungal sinusitis. Keywords: Lobular capillary haemangioma; granuloma; pyogenic; embolization. 1. INTRODUCTION Lobular capillary haemangiomata are considered as benign tumours of vascular origin and unknown etiology [1]. It is also known by some authors as pyogenic granuloma, epulis gravidarum, eruptive haemangiomas and granulation tissue-type haemangioma. It usually occurs in the skin, mucosa of the oral cavity and tongue. Nasal cavity lobular capillary haemangioma is a very rare occurrence and if it does occur the most frequent site is the anterior Case Study
