Abstract
A maxillary hematoma was observed in a 40-year-old male chronic renal failure patient who had been maintained by hemodialysis for over 12 years. The patient had suffered constant hemorrhagic nasal discharge for several months. X-ray examination showed a diffuse shadow on the right maxillary sinus. Subsequent surgical intervention revealed the presense of a hematoma with necrosis filling the maxillary sinus. Tissue examination confirmed the diagnosis. The diagnosis and etiology of maxillary hematoma in patients on chronic hemodialysis, as well as the surgical managemest of the condition, was discussed.
