Endonasal endoscopic laser-assisted resection of septal glomangiopericytoma. Glomangiopericytoma is a rare vascular neoplasm characterised by a pattern of prominent perivascular growth with myoid phenotype. It is categorised as a borderline low-malignancy tumour by WHO and accounts for less than 0.5% of all sinonasal tumours. After curative resection, patients of glomangiopericytoma need long-term endoscopic follow-up due to high risk of recurrence.We report a case of a 23-year-old man complaining of nasal obstruction off and on and frequent epistaxis. A reddish mass in the right nasal cavity was observed on endoscopy and treated with endoscopic excision.Biopsy revealed this to be glomangiopericytoma arising from the septum of right nasal cavity, which was excised in toto with endonasal endoscopic approach using diode laser.
