Overview

Case report highlights the diagnostic dilemma of cavernous hemangiomas in the maxillary sinus, suggesting a multi-faceted surgical approach.

Key Points

  • Maxillary sinus cavernous hemangiomas may resemble malignant tumors, complicating diagnosis.
  • A 68-year-old male presented with nasal obstruction and imaging showed a 6.2 cm mass with bony erosion.
  • Pre-operative angiography revealed vascular supply from the internal maxillary artery, leading to embolization.
  • Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis, underlining the importance of accurate imaging and surgical management.
