Cavernous hemangioma of maxilla: Report of a rare case

Abstract

Intra-osseous vascular lesions occur rarely in jaw bones. Intra-osseous hemangioma of the facial bones is even rarer and occurs more predominantly in the mandible than the maxilla. Diagnosis of these lesions is challenging due to inconsistent clinical and radiographic presentation. Here, we present a rare case report of a boy, aged 16 years, with an intra-osseous cavernous hemangioma of the left maxilla.
