상악동에 발생한 해면상 혈관종 1예

Hemangioma is the most common vascular lesion of the head and neck area. Typical locations include face, scalp, orbit, oral and nasal cavities. Most nasal hemangioma arises from the nasal septum or vestibule. However, Cavernous hemangioma arising in the maxillary sinus are very rare. Even though this disease is not a malignant entity, carvernous hamangioma can produce erosion of the adjacent bones. We present a case of maxillary sinus cavernous hemangioma in a 60-year-old woman.
