We are submitting a case of haemangiopericytoma of the nasal fossae, diagnosed and treated in our department. This is the second case we have seen as the first one was published by J. Marin and al. (1) in 1979. The patient in question is male, 35 years of age, who suffered from a tumour in the nasal partition, in the left nasal fossa and which made itself evident through repetitious epistaxis. The tumour was removed and there has not, so far, been any relapse. We have carried out a study of the available literature concerning haemangiopericytomas located in the nasal fossae and in the paranasal sinuses and come across 50 cases. In 1987 Chawla compiled 23 cases (2). Of the 50 cases, only 6 are described as being located in the nasal wall. We are submitting a list of all the cases that we have published and gathered with the age and sex of each patient and year of their publication.
