Abstract
Angiomyolipoma (AML) is a generally benign tumor that usually occurs in the kidney. Nasal AML is extremely rare, with eight cases of AML in the nasal cavity have been reported in the English-language literature and only one case has been reported in Korea. Our case involved a 55-year-old male who presented with a history of frequent nasal bleeding on the right side of nasal cavity. Physical examination revealed a mass of about 1.2-cm in the right nasal cavity, which was removed by an endoscopic approach. Microscopically, it consisted of bundles of smooth muscle and blood vessels, mature fat cells in various proportions. We suggest that the cause of the nasal bleeding should be considered this case. � Korean J Otorhinolaryngol-Head Neck Surg 2013;56:383-5 Key WordsZZAngiomyolipoma ㆍNasal cavity.
