Botryomycoma of the Nasal Vestibule: A Case Report from the Commune VI Referral Health Center of the District of Bamako/Mali

Abstract

Pyogenic granuloma or botryomycoma or lobular capillary hemangioma is a benign proliferation of capillaries, precisely skin and mucous membranes. This pathology is considered rare in terms of nasal cavities. But cases are increasingly related to literature. Thus, this study concerns a case sitting at the level of the nasal vestibule. He is an adult of 58 years and male sex, who came for consultation in the ENT department at the commune VI reference health center of the district of Bamako / Mali, presenting as a reason for consultation a right nasal obstruction. The interrogation revealed that the start dates back to about eight months and marked by a serous rhinorrhea and an associated homolateral epistaxis of headaches. No predisposing factor and no medico-surgical history has been found. The scanner allowed us to define the contours of the mass and to guide the therapeutic decision. The mass was completely removed surgically into endonasal without incidence. Histological examination of the surgical sample concluded that a lobular capillary hemangioma. The patient was followed for 2 years without recurrence or complications. Because of its rarity in our context, we recommend particular attention to ENT specialists to avoid confusion and allow more studies for more discussions in the literature.
