Abstract
Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) is a hyperplastic lesion that frequently occurs due to trauma or hormonal factors either on skin or mucosal membranes. Mucosal lesions occur frequently in the oral cavity in the head and neck. Although LCH can occur in all ages, very few are reported in infants and children. Intranasal localization is very rare in this age group. We present a 12-year-old child with an intranasal mucosal LCH accompanied with a nasal foreign body. To our knowledge, our case is the first case that an intranasal LCH accompanied a foreign body in the nasal cavity.
