Abstract

We describe the case of a capillary hemangioma of the ethmoidal sinus, resected under endoscopic control. The capillary hemangioma of the nose is a rare condition. It usually presents on the nasal septum; very rarely it arises from the turbinates. A capillary hemangioma arising from the ethmoid has not been previously reported.
