Lobular capillary hemangioma formation: An unusual complication of submucous resection with power instrumentation of the inferior turbinate

Abstract

Submucous resection with powered instrumentation (SRPI) is an effective surgical method to achieve inferior turbinate (IT) reduction with minimal morbidity. We describe a series of two cases of capillary hemangioma (pyogenic granuloma) that developed in the posterior third of the IT as a late complication after SRPI.
