The maxillary sinus mucoceles are lesions which grow gradually. They are cyst like lesions which have mucoid secretions that cause erosion to neighboring structures as they increase in size. Although they are often asymptomatic, they can be present as dull orofacial pain, inflammation on the cheek and nasal obstruction. These symptoms and changes in facial symmetry are present when there is significant erosion to surrounding anatomic structures. The Maxillary Sinus is the less frequent site where these lesions will form, and the diagnosis is done with the assistance of Computerized Tomography. Complete surgical removal is the best treatment option.
