Hemangioma on the face (nose)
From DrKoop's partner site on cholesterol, CholesterolNetwork.com
Hemangiomas are tumors made-up of dilated blood vessels that usually appear shortly after birth, although they may be present at birth. Hemangiomas on the face can be disfiguring and may interfere with visual development or cause obstruction of the airway.
