Angioleiomyoma of the nasal cavity – report of a case and review of the literature

Abstract Angioleiomyoma of the nasal cavity is an extremely rare tumour (Sawada, 1990). We present an unusual case of angioleiomyoma arising from the lateral wall of the nasal cavity without any symptoms of pain or epistaxis. Another unusual feature was that the tumour clinically resembled an inverted papilloma.
