Abstract

Capillary hemangioma of the maxillary sinus is a rare entity. It commonly presents as a sinonasal mass with nasal obstruction, intermittent epistaxis and occasionally as a cheek swelling. Computed tomography and angiography assist in making a correct diagnosis. Biopsy is not usually recommended as it can cause profuse bleeding and may yield false results. Selective arterial embolization followed by surgical resection forms the mainstay of treatment.
