Glomangioma is a benign tumour of the glomus body. It is a relatively rare tumour in the head and neck region and even rarer in the nasal cavity. We present the 13th documented case of an intranasal glomangioma. A 56 year old woman presented with a lesion on the nasal septum associated with intermittent nasal pain and epistaxis. Local surgical excision was not only diagnostic but therapeutic as it effected a cure. Intranasal glomangioma has no well-defined presenting features but must be borne in mind as a possible rare cause of nasal pain and epistaxis. We also briefly review the clinical presentation, histology and management of such a rare tumour.
