Abstract
|
|
|
|
Although hemangiomas are common in the head and neck region, they occur rarely in sinonasal cavity. The patients of sinonasal cavernous hemangiomas tend to present with recurrent epistaxis, nasal obstruction and rarely hemoptysis. We report a 20-year-old woman with a cavernous hemangioma of the maxillary sinus, presented with blood tinged sputum, toothache. The tumor was surgically removed successfully using nasal endoscope after embolization without complications. There is no evidence of recurrence after 6 months from the operation. Preoperative diagnosis is important since hemangiomas can frequently cause intractable bleeding during surgery, and mimic malignancy.
