Abstract
Glomangiomas of the skin, subcutaneous tissue and external ear & also, less commonly, of several viscera have been described. There is however, no mention of glomangioma of the nose, in literature. We report a case which presented as a nasal polyp. The histological study revealed the nature of the ‘polyp’ to be a glomangioma. It could be concluded that, considering the various sites mentioned in literature, there is no reason why this tumour cannot arise in any part of the body.
