Abstract

Granuloma gravidarum of the nasal mucous membrane is a rare benign tumour. Clinically it may appear as alarming bleeding with a rapidly growing, non-tender polyp producing nasal stenosis. A case is reported in a young healthy pregnant woman, who developed a granuloma gravidarum on the right side of her nasal septum, recurring several times after delivery in spite of extirpation. Histologically foamy histocytes were present, which could represent a special feature of this type of tumour.
