"Bleeding polyp" of the osseous nasal septum: a rarely seen lesion.

The nasal septal hemangioma or “bleeding polyp,” first reported by Ash and Old’ in 1950, is an uncommon lesion of the nasal cavity. Histological confirmation of the diagnosis is crucial to make the appropriate diagnosis and institute definitive treatment because these tumors often mimic malignancy. We present an unusual case of a patient with a nasal septal hemangioma that originated on the osseous nasal septum rather than the more commonly described anterior cartilaginous septum. Computed tomography (CT) and early biopsy assisted in definitive treatment planning.
