Background:

Sphenoid sinus mucoceles are uncommon cystic masses arising from obstructed sinus ostia.
Calcifications within sphenoid sinus mucoceles are exceptionally rare findings.

Observation:

This report details a unique case of a sphenoid sinus mucocele.
The lesion exhibited macroscopic calcifications embedded within its substance.

Findings:

The sphenoid sinus mucocele presented with a distinctive matrix containing gross calcifications.
This represents a previously undescribed imaging and pathological appearance.

Implications:

Recognizing this calcified variant is crucial for accurate diagnosis and differential diagnosis of sphenoid sinus lesions.

This finding may influence surgical planning and management strategies for such rare mucoceles.
