Abstract
We report a patient with a glomus tumor in the left nasal cavity. A 58-year-old male visited our department due to repeated nasal bleeding. A mass occupying the left nasal cavity and nasopharynx, that bled readily, was observed on examination. CT, MRI and angiography were performed, and selective microembolization of the vessel feeding the tumor was performed. After this operation, the tumor decreased in size, and was resected by endoscopic endonasal surgery. The bleeding volume was slight. Pathological examination of the resected tumor showed the features of a glomus tumor. At present, the patient has no symptoms suggestive of recurrence, and is being observed on an outpatient basis.
