Abstract
Nasal septal abscess and hematoma are rare clinical entities. To the best of our knowledge, there have only been 2 cases of nasal septal abscess associated with haematological malignancy reported in the literature. Herein, we present a unique case of recurrent spontaneous nasal septal hematoma and abscess in a patient prior to and after the diagnosis of acute myelogenous leukemia. Its rarity in immunocompromised population, clinical presentation, treatment and complications are further discussed.Entities:
