Summary
Maxillary haemangioma is a rare condition. Pre-operative embolisation followed by endoscopic sinus surgery is recommended for large maxillary haemangiomas to avoid complications.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Head and Neck Surgery
- Vascular Lesions
Background:
- Haemangiomas in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are uncommon.
- Maxillary haemangiomas, specifically, present unique surgical challenges due to their location.
Observation:
- A case of maxillary haemangioma in a 37-year-old Japanese woman is presented.
- The tumour required complete resection.
Findings:
- Maxillary haemangiomas can necessitate wider resection than nasal haemangiomas, especially when large.
- Successful complete resection was achieved through pre-operative embolisation and endoscopic sinus surgery.
Implications:
- Pre-operative embolisation followed by endoscopic sinus surgery is the preferred treatment for large maxillary haemangiomas.
- This approach minimizes surgical complications associated with extensive resection.
