Abstract

Objective:

We report an extremely rare case of maxillary haemangioma.

Method:

Case report and review of the literature concerning haemangioma arising from the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.

Results:

Maxillary haemangioma is rare and sometimes requires wider resection than nasal haemangioma if a large tumour is found. We present a case of maxillary haemangioma in a 37-year-old Japanese woman, which was completely resected by pre-operative embolisation and endoscopic sinus surgery.

Conclusion:

Our findings suggest that if a large maxillary haemangioma is diagnosed pre-operatively, the treatment of choice is pre-operative embolisation followed by endoscopic sinus surgery, in order to avoid the surgical complications associated with wide resection.
