A 28-year-old female presented with a slowly enlarging, left cheek mass over two years. She underwent neuroimaging and was found to have a well-defined, low attenuating lesion with thickened vertical trabeculation of the left zygoma, consistent with intraosseous hemangioma. To minimize the risk of severe intraoperative hemorrhage, the patient underwent embolization of the mass by neuro-interventional radiology two days prior to resection. The patient subsequently underwent a left anterior orbitotomy and partial zygoma resection followed by reconstruction of the lateral orbit with a custom porous polyethylene zygomaxillary implant. The postoperative course was uneventful with a good cosmetic outcome.
