Hemangiomas of the nasal tip

Plast Reconstr Surg. 2002 Jan;109(1):31-40. doi: 10.1097/00006534-200201000-00006.

Abstract

The treatment of nasal hemangiomas is controversial. Results of nonsurgical treatment methods have been disappointing. In a series of 42 patients with nasal hemangioma, 22 patients underwent early excision. The open rhinoplasty approach proved safe and effective and yielded satisfactory long-term results. The article discusses protocols for evaluation and guidelines for treatment.
