Abstract
|
|
|
|
Excluding cases of maxillary sinus mucoceles developing 1-2 decades after Caldwell-Luc’s operation, the primary mucoceles of the maxillary sinus are very rare and believed to result from chronic obstruction of sinus ostium. Organized hematoma represents a rare benign lesion with locally destructive behavior. After the first case reported in 1996, there have been only a few reports for organized hematoma of the maxillary sinus. To our knowledge, this is the first article describing a maxillary sinus mucocele resulting from obstruction of natural ostium by organized hematoma presenting with unilateral cheek hypesthesia and retro-orbital pain. We present this first case with a review of literature.
