Hemangioma of the Maxillary Sinus Presenting as a Mass: CT and MR Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hemangiomas of the sinonasal tract are rare, and because these lesions lack the typical signs or symptoms, they can be confused with other malignant conditions. We report a case of cavernous hemangioma of the maxillary sinus in a 68-year-old man that was completely resected by endoscopic sinus surgery. Although computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed several enhancing areas within the tumor, the substantial bone erosion and remodeling made it difficult to differentiate this cavernous hemangioma from other expansile maxillary sinus lesions. We present the CT and MR findings of this lesion and discuss the differential diagnoses and potential therapeutic approaches.

Introduction: Ectopic tooth eruption may result owing to one of 3 processes: developmentalDisturbance, iatrogenic activity, or pathologic process, such as a tumor or a cyst. In rare cases, occlusion of the sinus ostia may predispose a patient to develop a maxillary sinus mucocele. When the maxillary sinus is invaded, symptoms usually occur late in the process. Case report: A 17 years old boy...

Capillary hemangioma of the maxillary sinus is a rare entity. It commonly presents as a sinonasal mass with nasal obstruction, intermittent epistaxis and occasionally as a cheek swelling. Computed tomography and angiography assist in making a correct diagnosis. Biopsy is not usually recommended as it can cause profuse bleeding and may yield false results. Selective arterial embolization followe...
