Abstract
|
|
|
|
Myospherulosis is a recently discovered iatrogenic disease caused by the implantation during surgery of mineral oil- or petrolatum-based products into various tissues. It is a chronic inflammatory reaction to the mixture of red blood cells and petroleum based ointments. A 33-year-old man with myospherulosis of the left maxillary sinus associated with post-operative maxillary cyst is described. The lesion was probably caused by petrolatum-based antibiotic ointment. As in myospherulosis of the paranasal sinuses, the symptoms and findings of the maxillary sinus myospherulosis are those of the preceding disease.
