Intraosseous Cavernous Hemangioma of the Zygoma: A Case Report

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The incidence of intraosseous hemangiomas is low; they represent less than 1% of all bone tumors. The most common locations are the calvaria and vertebrae. Lesions affecting facial bones are rare and can involve the maxillae, mandibulae, nasals, and zygomatics. In zygomatic location its a slow-growing tumor that primarily affects adult women. Herein, we report a case of intraosseous hemangioma of the zygomatic bone in a man aged of 55 years old. The diagnosis of intraosseous hemangioma was made following radiological examination due to the characteristic imaging findings and confirmed after surgical excision by anatomopathological exam.
