    Maxillary sinusitis can present unusually, with swollen sinus lining prolapsing into the nasal cavity. This presentation mimics antrochoanal polyps, offering a new perspective on sinus imaging findings.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Radiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Maxillary sinusitis is a common condition.
    • Antrochoanal polyps are benign growths originating from the maxillary sinus.
    • Radiographic diagnosis of sinus conditions is crucial for effective treatment.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of antral sinusitis with unusual presentation were observed.
    • Inflamed and swollen sinus mucosa prolapsed into the nasal cavity.
    • This prolapse occurred through a widened sinus ostium.

    Findings:

    • The observed presentation mimicked the radiographic findings of an antrochoanal polyp.
    • This represents an unusual manifestation of maxillary sinusitis.
    • The redundant sinus mucosa was the cause of the polyp-like appearance.

    Implications:

    • This finding expands the differential diagnosis for lesions in the nasal cavity.
    • Radiologists and otolaryngologists should consider this presentation in their diagnoses.
    • Further research may elucidate the specific mechanisms leading to this mucosal redundancy.
