Abstract
Hemangiomas are very common benign vascular tumors of head and neck. Intraosseous hemangiomas are rare and very few cases of involvement of nasal bone have been found in literature. A slowly growing hard nasal mass should draw clinical suspicion and should be included in differential diagnosis as it carries with it the risk of uncontrollable hemorrhage during surgical procedures. Clinical examination and radiology are contributory but histopathological examination is confirmatory for diagnosis.

Highlights
Hemangiomas are common benign tumors characterized by an increase in the number of normal or aberrant blood vessels
Intraosseous hemangioma is an uncommon bone tumor that accounts for 0.7–1% of all bone neoplasms
Hemangiomas emerging in the soft tissue are widespread in the head and neck region, intraosseous hemangiomas in this region are most commonly detected in the skull
Summary
Hemangiomas are common benign tumors characterized by an increase in the number of normal or aberrant blood vessels. They are usually localized lesions confined to the skin, subcutaneous tissues, and mucous membranes of the head and neck, but they can be larger and develop internally in the liver, spleen, and kidney [1]. These lesions rarely occur in the bone. Symptomatic tumors are rare, accounting for
