Capillary hemangioma of the maxillary sinus: diagnostic challenges and endoscopic surgical outcomes – a rare case report from Syria

About 10% of cervicofacial tumors are maxillary sinus hemangiomas, which are uncommon, benign vascular tumors. Their diagnosis mostly depends on imaging techniques such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, but absolute confirmation needs histological testing. We describe a successful endoscopic sinus surgery without prior embolization for a maxillary sinus hemangioma. Imaging results showing a non-hypervascular lesion, reducing the risk of intraoperative bleeding, provided the basis for the choice. There was no recurrence or problems throughout the postoperative recovery period. This case, the first reported in Syria, highlights the potential of a purely endoscopic technique and emphasizes the necessity for future investigations to enhance treatment procedures.
