Intraosseous
hemangioma is a rare
tumor, occurring especially in the
maxilla. Because
hemangioma is a benign
tumor with increased vascularity, some authors call it
hamartoma. This
tumor originates and expands into bony structures. We experienced a
female patient with intraosseous
hemangioma of the right
maxilla. The
tumor was completely removed through a gingivobuccal incision and the
feeding vessel was embolized. We
report this case regarding the radiologic
work-up,
differential diagnosis,
pathology and
treatment with a brief
review of the
literature.
