Abstract:
Organized hematoma of maxillary sinus is a rare pathologically benign mass in which pressure in the hematoma increases as it undergoes a process of organization, causing the deformation of the surrounding tissue, mimicking malignancies. The midfacial degloving approach can be used when extensive exposure is required in the treatment of lesions or traumas in the midfacial area with intranasal and intraoral incisions. We report a surgical excision case of organized hematoma of maxillary sinus using midfacial degloving approach without major complications and recurrence after one-year follow up.
