Abstract

Hemangiopericytomas are rare tumors of sinonasal region. In this article, we described a case of recurrent mass in right nasal cavity which presented with nasal obstruction and intermittent epistaxis. Patient had a surgical history on the same nasal region without any histopathological document. Abnormal bleeding was observed during surgery and mass was partially removed for histopathological investigation. The result was glomangiopericytoma of the sinonasal region. Although extended surgery was recommended to the patient including preoperative and perioperative measures for bleeding problem, patient preferred to follow-up rather than removal. The clinical progress and review of glomangiopericytoma have also been discussed.

Nazal kavitede nadir bir kitle: Reküren glomanjioperisitom

Abstract

Hemanjioperisitomlar sinonazal bölgenin nadir tümörleridir. Bu olgu sunumunda, sağ nazal kavitede nazal obstrüksiyon ve ara ara olan epistaksis ile seyreden, reküren bir kitle tanımlandı. Hastanın aynı nazal bölgeden histopatolojik bir tanısı olmayan cerrahi öyküsü vardı. Cerrahi sırasında anormal kanama gözlemlendi ve histopatolojik araştırma için kitle kısmen çıkarıldı. Sonuç sinonazal bölgenin glomanjioperisitioması olarak saptandı. Ameliyat öncesi ve sırasında kanama sorunu için gerekli önlemler alınarak hastaya cerrahi rezeksiyon önerildi ancak hasta cerrahi girişim yerine takibi tercih etti. Ayrıca glomanjioperisitoma ve klinik seyri de tartışıldı
