Abstract

Lymphangiomas are benign hamartomas of the lymphatic vessels. They are congenital malformations that are usually present at birth or diagnosed within the first two years of age. Almost 75% of lymphangiomas occur in the head and neck region. Its occurrence in the maxillary antrum is one of the rarest locations. Very few cases have been reported in the literature. We report a case of maxillary sinus’ lymphangioma in a 73 year old female patient which presented for a 2 years evolving 3 cm right cheek swelling. Complete surgical excision was done without later recurrence.
