Abstract

Angiosarcoma of the nasal cavity is extremely rare. We present a case of angiosarcoma of the nasal cavity in an eight-yearold boy. He was treated with medial maxiUectomy via lateral rhinotomy. The histological diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistological stain with Factor Vlll-like antigen. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was useful in determining the extent of the tumour.
