Intraosseous Hemangioma of Nasal Bone: Unusual Cause of Epiphora.

J Craniofac Surg

Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

Published: October 2020

Intraosseous hemangioma is very rare, accounting for <1% of bone tumors. Nasal bone origin of it is even rarer. A 63-year-old female patient visited our clinic with a complaint of epiphora. On physical examination, about 2-cm-sized nontender and fixed mass was palpated along the left nasomaxillary suture area. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging findings were consistent with intraosseous hemangioma originating from the nasal bone. Epiphora was thought to be developed due to the mass effect and a marginal resection of the mass was performed. The defect was reconstructed with a septal cartilage and porous polyethylene implant (Synpor). Postoperatively, epiphora subsided and there has been no sign of recurrence or facial deformity during 6 months of follow-up.

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.
