Fibroma of the Maxillary sinus is extremely rare. The first case of antral ´fibroma was reported in 1927 by J. Harper.
A 15-year-old Korean boy visited our hospital on May 15. 1969. He complained of a mass in left maxillary region, which: was not painful and had been progressively increasing in size for 15 months.
The initial physical examination revealed a hard, child´s first-sized mass in the left maxillary region, protrusion of the left maxillary done into gingival region, and narrowing nasal cavity due to pressure in its lateral wall.
The histopathological l examination of the biopsy specimen taken from the 1eft maxillary sinus through. Caldwell Luc approach revealed fibroma.
The removal of the tumor by lateral Rhinotomy -was an effective treatment in this case.
