| Summary: | A 12-year-old girl was referred to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery for a large cystic lesion, which was gradually increasing in size. We diagnosed her with intraosseous hemangioma based on the magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and angiography findings and performed surgical curettage.Three months later, there were no recurrences or cosmetic deformities. However, 3 years later, she revisited the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with the complaint of gingival hardness. Recurrent cavernous hemangioma was diagnosed based on the imaging features, and the tumor was removed via the same incision site. The histopathological diagnosis of the specimen was recurrent cavernous hemangioma. Herein, we report a rare case of recurrent cavernous hemangioma in the maxilla that was successfully treated. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a recurrent intraosseous hemangioma of maxilla containing multiple teeth has been completely cured without tooth extraction or surgical resection.
