Sumario:We reported CT of a case of giant organized hematoma originating from the inferior turbinate without any paranasal sinuses involvement, with an emphasis on different patterns of enhancement of the tumor on enhanced CT scans. This case was exceptional because of unusual location and difficulties in diagnosis. Moreover, organized hematoma of nasal cavity should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a unilateral, huge and easy bleeding lesion in the nasal cavity. A high clinical suspicion based on endoscopic and radiologic findings plays an important role to make an accurate diagnosis.
