["Cyrano" angiomas]

Abstract

Hemangioma of the nasal tip (Cyrano nose) is a cavernous or capillary cavernous form. Its development is related to immaturity. It occurs in infants a few days after birth, and increases with regularity. The natural outcome is favorable, and the angioma decreases in most cases after 5 or 6 years of age. Due to the location and the aesthetic prejudice involved, the parents often ask for early surgical treatment. A study of 4 cases and a literature review indicate the surgical intervention should take place later, ie one should wait and only operate on the sequelae resulting from the development of the hemangioma. Late surgical treatment led to resection of the remaining lesion and to repair of the nasal tip.
