Successful surgery for patient with large hemangioma in the sinus area

The doctor is examining the patient after surgery.

Before being hospitalized, the patient had occasional nosebleeds, the bleeding was small and stopped on its own so she did not go to the doctor. However, the frequency and amount of bleeding gradually increased, the condition lasted for 4 months, the bleeding was difficult to control, accompanied by nasal congestion, seriously affecting her daily life so she decided to go to Hoan My Saigon Hospital for examination.

Here, the results of the sinus endoscopy and computed tomography (CT) scan showed that the patient had a 2cm hemangioma located in the sinus. The doctors performed DSA (digital subtraction angiography) intervention to temporarily block the blood vessels with biological glue, helping to control the bleeding and successfully performed surgery to remove the hemangioma.

After 5 days of hospitalization, Ms. T's health has stabilized, no more nosebleeds or difficulty breathing.

Hemangioma is a type of tumor formed by the abnormal growth of blood vessels, usually excessive proliferation. This is one of the common types of vascular tumors that can appear in the skin, respiratory organs, internal organs, spine, central nervous system, etc.

Hemangiomas are usually benign and can gradually regress over a long period of time. Malignant hemangiomas are rare. However, do not be subjective because benign hemangiomas can still cause many dangerous complications. In particular, tumors with large blood vessels are very fragile and cause continuous bleeding. Tumors in the respiratory system can cause congestion and difficulty breathing. If not treated promptly, the tumor can grow larger, compressing surrounding structures, causing nasal deformity, affecting vision or spreading to the sinuses and skull base.
