“…The surgical approach differs depending of the location and extent of the tumor and includes endoscopic transnasal excision, transantral, transpalatal, lateral rhinotomy, and medial maxillectomy. 1,2,5,6 Imaging (CT and MRI) is essential to diagnosis and surgical planning. In this case, the CT scan showed an expansile, heterogeneous soft-tissue mass associated with bony erosion of the antral walls and deviation of the septum from mass pressure.…”

“…Cavernous hemangioma of the maxillary sinus is rare. 5,6,9 Histologically, sinonasal hemangiomas can be similar to that of other lesions, such similarities can make it difficult to establish a definitive diagnosis on the basis of smallsample biopsies. The current lesion composed of thick-and thin-walled vascular channels separated by sparse cellular fibrous tissue and anastomosing cavernous blood vessels consistent with cavernous hemangioma.…”

“…5,7 The differential diagnosis of hemangioma includes inverted papilloma, pyogenic granuloma, mucocele, hematoma, polypoid cystic masses and bacillary angiomatosis, Kaposi's sarcoma and other vascular tumors of the paranasal sinuses, like angiosarcoma. 5,9 Hemangiomas of the paranasal sinuses can be difficult to diagnose for many reasons. Obtaining a biopsy specimen for diagnosis can be dangerous in view of the potential for profuse bleeding.…”
