title: Infantile Intraosseous Maxillary Hemangioma.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Primary osseous hemangiomas of the facial skeleton mimic malignancy. Their location in maxillary sinus, especially in infants is extremely rare.
  
  
  METHODS
  1- month-old full term boy with maxillary swelling.
  
  
  METHODS
  Biopsy from oral route revealed hemangioma showing vascular channels lined by endothelial cells. Patient improved on oral steroids.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Hemangiomas should be considered as one of the differential diagnosis of unilateral maxillary swelling in infants. Steroids may serve as the primary mode of treatment as opposed to tumor excision.
