Intraosseous Hemangioma of the Zygomatic Bone: A Rare Maxillofacial Case in a 57-Year-Old Woman.

Central hemangioma is one of the rare lesions of the jawbones, with a prevalence ranging between 0.5% and 1%. It more commonly occurs in the vertebral column and cranial bones, with rare occurrences in the jaws. The World Health Organization classifies hemangioma as a true neoplasm of endothelial origin; however, some authors believe that hemangiomas are hamartomas. Diagnosis of this lesion can be challenging due to its varying clinical and radiographic characteristics. Treatment is also difficult due to the presence of an extensive vascular network in the affected area. In this article, we present a case of central hemangioma in the body of the zygomatic bone of a 57-year-old female, which was treated through surgical resection.
