The lobular capillary hemangioma (pyogenic granuloma) is a rapidly growing benign haemorrhagic lesion of unknown cause. The disease usually affects a skin and an oral mucosa. It appears rare on the nasal septum, and at times difficult to differentiate from the hemangioma or the angiofibroma, etc. on the kisselbach’s area. It is characterized intermittent bleeding with ulceration and nasal obstruction. Resently the authors had experienced a case of lobular capillary hemangioma from right nasal septum. The patient treated by local excision and nasal packing for control of bleeding. Histopathologic study reported lobular capillary hemangioma and no recurrences yet.
