| Summary: | <i>Background and objectives:</i> Capillary hemangiomas are rare, benign vascular tumors that mainly affect the skin and soft tissue, with scarce appearance within the nasal cavities and paranasal sinuses. <i>Materials and methods:</i> We present a case report of capillary hemangioma of the sphenoid sinus and a review of the literature in the last ten years. <i>Results:</i> Clinical and endoscopic examination of the nose, radiologic assessment and particular histologic features contribute to the correct diagnosis of capillary hemangioma of the nose and paranasal sinuses. <i>Conclusions:</i> Transnasal endoscopic resection of capillary hemangioma located in the nose and paranasal sinuses is a valuable treatment method with good outcomes. |
