Intraosseous hemangioma is an extremely rare tumor that accounts for 1% or fewer of all osseous tumors. The most common sites of its occurrence are the vertebral column and calvaria. Occurrence in a facial bone is very rare. The authors aim to report a case of the surgical treatment of intraosseous hemangioma occurring in the periorbital region, which is a very rare site of occurrence and to introduce our own experiences with the diagnosis and treatment of this condition along with a literature review. A 73-year-old male patient visited our hospital with the chief complaint of a mass touching the left orbital rim. A biopsy was performed by applying a direct incision after local anesthesia. Eventually, intraosseous hemangioma was diagnosed histologically. To fully resect the mass, the orbital floor and zygoma were exposed through a subciliary incision under general anesthesia, and then the tumor was completely eliminated. Bony defect was reconstructed by performing a seventh rib bone graft. Follow-up observation has so far been conducted for 10 months after surgery without recurrence or symptoms.

Intraosseous hemangiomas are rare benign vascular tumors predominantly occurring in the axial skeleton. This case report describes a 44-year-old female with a history of multiple renal stones and benign breast calcifications, who was incidentally found to have a 1.2 cm lucent lesion in the left iliac bone during imaging for nephrolithiasis.

Intraosseous hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors which are more commonly seen in the vertebrae and skull but they rare in the ribs. Rib hemangiomas can mimic malignant rib lesions and definitive clinical and imaging diagnosis might be difficult and pathological confirmation will be required. Here we report a rib hemangioma in a 49-year-old male presented with painless chest wall swelling of 9 years duration, on chest CT scan the lesion showed dense radiating type calcification with cortical destruction.

Article Synopsis
  • Intraosseous hemangiomas are rare, benign tumors affecting bones, particularly the vertebrae and calvarium, which can cause complications like visual problems and deformities due to their slow growth.
  • A case study of a 10-year-old girl with a recurring giant calvarial hemangioma demonstrated the use of proton beam therapy (PBT) after previous treatments failed, showing positive results.
  • The patient tolerated the PBT well, with minor side effects, and after 14 months, there was a significant reduction in tumor size, suggesting PBT's potential as an effective treatment for difficult cases of hemangiomas in children.

Maxillary intraosseous hemangiomas are rare benign vascular lesions, accounting for less than 1% of all primary bone tumors. Clinical examination often reveals a hard, painless swelling mass that is rarely pulsatile. Imaging not only helps to make a positive diagnosis but also contributes to therapeutic management.
