Leiomyoma is a benign tumor that originates from smooth muscle and can develop anywherein the body where smooth muscle is present. However, leiomyoma arising in the head andneck region are very rare. We experienced a case of a 74-year-old male patient with a right na-sal floor mass. The patient complained of bleeding from the right nasal cavity, nasal conges-tion, and discharge. On physical examination, a relatively smooth-surfaced, well-demarcatedmass was observed in the right nasal floor. Preoperative imaging was interpreted as a right na-solabial cyst, and endoscopic excision was performed. Histologic examination confirmed it tobe vascular leiomyoma. The patient was followed up for 6 months postoperatively and remainsstable with no recurrence of symptoms. We report a case of vascular leiomyoma arising fromthe nasal floor that was mistaken for a nasolabial cyst in a 74-year-old patient.
