Radiol Case Rep. 2023 Oct 17;18(12):4569-4573. doi: 10.1016/j.radcr.2023.09.045. eCollection 2023 Dec.

Abstract

Sinonasal organized hematoma is a rare condition characterized by an organizing blood clot in the sinonasal cavity, which consists of blood products, fibrin, and dilated blood vessels. As a benign entity with an aggressive imaging appearance, it is important to differentiate sinonasal organized hematoma from malignancies affecting the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavities to guide appropriate management. In this report, we discuss the clinical presentation and diagnostic evaluation of an 82-year-old male with a left maxillary sinus organized hematoma and provide a comprehensive review of the relevant literature.
