Abstract
Intraosseous hemangiomas are uncommon and account to less than 1% of all osseous tumors. Vertebral body and skull are the most common sites involved. However involvement of facial bones is rare with zygoma being even rarer site. Due to its rarity it creates diagnostic dilemma clinically and radiologically. Its vascular nature carries the risk of intraoperative bleeding hence an accurate preoperative diagnosis with arterial embolization helps to avoid the dire consequences. Fine needle aspiration cytology along with radiological correlation is extremely helpful in such cases. We report such rare case in forty eight years female patient with brief review of literature.
