Abstract

A patient with hematoma in the left maxillary sinus, who had complained of unilateral nasal obstruction and nasal bleeding was examined. The X-ray examination showed a diffuse shadow without destruction of the wall on the left maxillary sinus. The patient was operated on and found to have a hematoma in the maxillary sinus. Histopathological examination revealed bleeding, blood clotting, fibrosis and abnormal vascularization. In this disease, it is difficult to rule out maxillary sinus tumors.
