ABSTRACT

An organized hematoma is a rare benign tumor with a chronic state of fibrotic tissue surrounding a hemorrhage. Organized hematoma of the nasal septum is very rare in sinonasal cavity. The pathogenesis of organized hematoma has not completely understood. We recently experienced a case of organized hematoma of the nasal septum without history of trauma or coagulopathy. We present a case of organized hematoma of the nasal septum with review of literature. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2016;27:340-343)
