Abstract
Background: Intraosseous vascular lesions are rare, they seldom occur in facial skeleton and maxilla is one of the least reported sites of involvement.
Case Presentation: We report a 45-year-old woman with cavernous hemangioma of maxillary bone involving inferior turbinate. It showed osteolytic expansile nature in imaging. The mass was approached via facial degloving technique. Histologic evaluation revealed vascular lesion in favor of cavernous hemangioma.
Conclusion: Intraosseous vascular anomalies are one of the diagnoses of facial skeletal masses not routinely occurring to the mind especially in adults due to their rarity and various presentations. They can mimic other pathologies with regard to symptoms and imaging characteristics. They also should be differentiated from malignancies, though frequently the definite diagnosis will be uncertain until proven histologically.- Facial Degloving
