Abstract

The Central hemangioma of the jaws is a rare lesion representing only 0.8% of 120 intra-oral hemangiomas. Central haemangioma, defined as the “great mimicker” is a benign endothelial cell hamartoma that appears in infancy and has a natural history of proliferation and involution. Handley in 1981 reported that about 56% of the cases occurred in the head and neck region. As it most commonly occurs in the vertebrae and skull, it rarely develops in jaw where it is most commonly seen in the mandible than the maxilla. We report a rare case of 22 years female patient with central hemangioma of the posterior maxilla with emphasis on review of literature and treatment modalities.
