Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Postoperative maxillary cysts are infrequent delayed sequelae of maxillary sinus surgery.
  • These cysts can manifest years after the initial surgical procedure.
  • Understanding their pathogenesis is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • A 54-year-old female presented with a seven-year history of left cheek swelling.
  • Radiographic imaging (orthopantomograph and CT) revealed a unilocular cystic lesion in the left maxillary sinus with a sclerotic wall.
  • Aspiration cytology indicated the presence of neutrophil leukocytes.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed a fibrous cyst wall with inflammation and reactive bone formation.
  • The cyst lining was identified as respiratory-type epithelium.
  • The patient had undergone maxillary sinus surgery eight years prior to symptom onset.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering delayed complications after maxillary sinus surgery.
  • Accurate diagnosis requires integrating clinical presentation, imaging, and histopathological findings.
  • Recognition of such rare entities aids in appropriate patient management and surgical planning.
