Unilateral maxillary swelling, though rare, was studied in 31 patients over 3 years. Most cases were benign lesions like odontogenic cysts and fungal sinusitis, with a few malignant tumors requiring specific treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Unilateral maxillary swelling is an uncommon clinical presentation.
  • Tertiary care centers manage a significant number of these cases.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the etiological spectrum of unilateral maxillary swelling.
  • To evaluate diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
  • To assess outcomes in patients with maxillary swelling.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 31 patients over 3 years.
  • Inclusion of all patients presenting with unilateral maxillary swelling.
  • Evaluation of histories, diagnostic methods, treatments, and outcomes.

Quantitative Assessment Protocol for Facial Soft Tissue Volumetric Changes with Stereophotogrammetry

Published on: December 9, 2025

Main Results:

  • A total of 31 patients were identified.
  • 27 cases were benign: odontogenic cystic lesions (11), fibro-osseous lesions (8), allergic fungal sinusitis (5), mucocele (2).
  • 5 cases were malignant: squamous cell cancer (2), adenocarcinoma (2), rhabdomyosarcoma (1).

Conclusions:

  • Benign lesions constitute the majority of unilateral maxillary swellings.
  • Malignant tumors, though less common, require prompt recognition and treatment.
  • Understanding key diagnostic features is vital for appropriate management and reduced morbidity.
