外鼻切断を余儀なくされた鼻血管腫症例

VENOUS HEMANGIOMA OF THE NOSE, A CASE REPORT

　I．緒言

　われわれは両側外頸動脈結紮術および数回のcryosurgeryにもかかわらず，大量鼻出血を繰り返して増悪するため，外鼻切断を余儀なくされた鼻血管腫の症例を経験したので，若干の考察を加えて報告する。

　A 37-year-old man with hemangioma of the nose was treated with ligation of the bilateral external carotid arteries and several cryosurgeries, however he had profuse epistaxis after these procedures recurrently, and finally amputation of the nose was unavoidable. Histological examination revealed venous hemangioma without malignancy, though inspite of benign tumor, the clinical course was unsatisfactory. This case suggested that the method and the time of treatment for this disease should be carefully selected.
