Article Abstract
Hemangiomas are rare and benign tumors originating from the pterygopalatine fossa (PPF). In this study, we report a rare case of PPF hemangioma in a 66-year-old male, for which he underwent surgical resection via the anterior nasolacrimal recess after preoperative arteria maxillaris embolization. To enhance our understanding on this rare condition, we conducted a comprehensive review of existing literature on this disease to discuss its clinical characteristics, differential diagnoses, and potential treatment approaches.
