| Summary: | Abstract Hemangiomas are very common benign vascular tumors of head and neck. Intraosseous hemangiomas are rare and very few cases of involvement of nasal bone have been found in literature.

Clinical examination and radiology are contributory but histopathological examination is confirmatory for diagnosis. |
