Abstract
BACKGROUND
Primary intraosseous hemangiomas are rare (0.7% of all osseous neoplasms), benign, slow-growing neoplasms. These lesions are usually solitary. We are reporting a case of multicentric intraosseous hemangiomas. Investigation, treatment options, and role of N-butylcyanoacrylate (NBCA) in management will be discussed.
METHODS AND RESULTS
A 20-year-old man had multicentric intraosseous hemangiomas involving the skull bones, mandible, vertebra, pelvic bone, and tibial tuberosity. N-butylcyanoacrylate was used by direct puncture technique using a transosseous transcutaneous route to control profuse bleeding from the retromolar region.
CONCLUSION
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case with such extensive multicentric intraosseous hemangiomas. N-butylcyanoacrylate by direct puncture technique can be an effective method to devascularize and stabilize low-flow intraosseous vascular tumors.
