Haemangioma of the maxilla: a case report.
A rapidly expanding central haemangioma of the left maxilla in a 7-year-old boy was treated by ligation of the left external carotid and facial arteries and of the major vessel draining the lesion.  Clinical and radiographic regression of the lesion has followed this treatment.  Possible alternative approaches are discussed, as are the appropriate diagnostic techniques.
