Abstract
Intraosseous haemangioma are rare, benign tumours, and only rarely do they involve the facial bones. We present a singular case of zygomatic intraosseous haemangioma treated surgically and reconstructed with a methyl-methacrylate alloplastic prosthesis designed from a computed tomography (CT)-based 3D model. This is the first case described in the literature of a zygomatic reconstruction with a predesigned prosthesis. After 1 year of follow-up, aesthetical results are good, and the patient presents correct functional rehabilitation.
