Cavernous hemangioma of the maxillary sinus with bone erosion.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of cavernous hemangioma originating in the maxillary sinus. This is an unusual location for hemangioma, and this case also had a rare presentation involving bone erosion. The substantial bone destruction and resultant widening of the right ostiomeatal complex made it difficult to differentiate this cavernous hemangioma from malignant epithelial tumors.

متن کاملHemangioma of the Maxillary Sinus Presenting as a Mass: CT and MR Features
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 enhanci...
متن کاملCT and angiography of primary extradural juxtasellar tumors.
The computed tomographic and angiographic features of 15 histologically proven primary extradural juxtasellar tumors were retrospectively reviewed. Five chordomas were characterized by prominent bone erosion and a significant posterior fossa component. Four trigeminal nerve neuromas each demonstrated bone erosion centered about Meckel's cave and moderate to marked contrast enhancement. Two cave...
متن کاملBone erosion caused by sinonasal cavernous hemangioma: CT findings in two patients.
We report two cases of cavernous hemangioma originating in the sinonasal cavity. Although CT showed some enhancing areas within both tumors, the substantial bone destruction caused by these tumors made it difficult to differentiate them from the more common malignant epithelial tumors. Angiography was performed in one patient and showed characteristic pooling of contrast material.
متن کاملIntraosseous Cavernous Hemangioma: A Rare Presentation in Maxilla
OBJECTIVE Hemangiomas are benign vascular lesions mostly arising from soft tissues. However, intraosseous hemangioma is a rare entity, comprising only 1% of benign bone tumors. We describe here the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of a 42-year-old woman with a painless hard swelling-diagnosed to be intraosseous hemangioma via orbital magnetic resonance imaging-localized on the left infrao...
