Haemangioma of the maxillary sinus

Abstract: Haemangiomas of the maxillary sinus are very rare. In this paper we present one case with an inaccurate preoperative diagnosis which was treated by entire excision of the tumour. One year aftersurgery there is no evidence of recurrence. The literature on the topic is reviewed.

“…1 Without knowledge of the typical clinical presentation and the complete study of imaging findings, the entity tends to be clinically and radiologically confused with neoplastic processes and even malignancy. 2 This entity has been described in the literature in different terms, including cavernous hemangioma, [3][4][5][6][7] organized or organizing hematoma, [8][9][10][11] hematoma-like mass of the maxillary sinus, 12 and SAP. 1,2,13,14 This lesion is difficult to remove en bloc and is easily broken during excision, so the sampling inconsistencies related to lesional fragility are likely responsible for the wide variation in pathologic description and terminology.…”

“…Complete surgical excision is always the treatment of choice, which can be done by the suitable surgical approaches like Caldwel Luc [10,11], Weber Ferguson [12], lateral rhinotomy [13,14] or endoscopic removal [15] can be done depending upon the site and extent of the lesion and encroachment of the hemangioma into the adjacent structures. Non invasive techniques include systemic or intra lesional corticosteriod and interferon alpha2, however long term follow up in the literature is not available [16].…”

“…Ninguno de estos hallazgos es patognomónico; aunque algunos casos sugieren que la presencia de nódulos calcificados (flebolitos) dentro de la lesión podría considerarse como un signo muy sugerente de hemangioma 28 ; sin embargo en la actualidad se prefiere a la angio-TC con reconstrucción tridimensional (3D), puesto que evidencia con más detalle las lesiones vasculares de cabeza y cuello, mostrando casi perfectamente la anatomía de este tipo de lesiones complejas 29 . En cuanto al manejo, la mayoría de los reportes sugieren que la embolización de la arteria principal del tumor vascular debería ser realizado antes de la resección quirúrgica; siendo sus ventajas la disminución del tamaño tumoral y del riesgo de hemorragia durante el procedimiento quirúrgico 11,18,19 . En el tratamiento de la sinusitis crónica y de tumores benignos de cavidades perinasales, la cirugía endoscópica funcional ha reemplazado en la actualidad al abordaje abierto por su probada seguridad y efectividad; existiendo casos de hemangiomas maxilares de tamaño mediano resecados por vía endoscópica sin dificultades, con la ventaja de preservación de mucosa sana y estructuras óseas 18,19,25,27 .…”

“…Son excepcionales en senos paranasales con pocos casos reportados a nivel mundial siendo la mayoría de tipo cavernoso [8][9][10][11][12] . Es por ello que presentamos este caso clínico, donde analizamos su manejo y realizamos una revisión de la literatura.…”
