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.
