title: Maxillary haemangioma successfully resected by endoscopic approach.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We report an extremely rare case of maxillary haemangioma.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report and review of the literature concerning haemangioma arising from the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Maxillary haemangioma is rare and sometimes requires wider resection than nasal haemangioma if a large tumour is found. We present a case of maxillary haemangioma in a 37-year-old Japanese woman, which was completely resected by pre-operative embolisation and endoscopic sinus surgery.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our findings suggest that if a large maxillary haemangioma is diagnosed pre-operatively, the treatment of choice is pre-operative embolisation followed by endoscopic sinus surgery, in order to avoid the surgical complications associated with wide resection.
