Intraosseous haemangioma od the zygoma - case report and literature review.
Intraosseous haemangioma is a benign lesion that accounts for less than 1% of all bone tumours. It is found in the zygoma only rarely. This type of tumour is more common in women than in men. The paper presents the case of a female patient with intraosseous cavernous haemangioma in the zygoma. The tumour caused a deformation of the zygoma on the left. The lesion was visible in computed tomography (CT) scans, and also in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans obtained previously due to problems unrelated to the lesion. We performed complete removal of the tumour including edges of healthy bone. The defect was bridge using a titanium miniplate. A good cosmetic effect was seen after 5 months from the surgery. Follow up CT and MRI evaluation showed no recurrence or residue of the tumour. The paper also includes a review of available literature.
