    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Rhinoscleroma is a chronic granulomatous disease typically affecting the upper respiratory tract.
    • Maxillary sinus involvement in rhinoscleroma often manifests as edema, hypertrophy, polyposis, atrophy, or empyema.
    • Primary scleroma of the maxillary antrum is exceptionally rare.

    Observation:

    • This study details three cases of antroscleroma.
    • One case presented as secondary to extensive nasal rhinoscleroma.
    • Two cases represented primary antroscleroma, originating within the maxillary sinus.

    Findings:

    • Actual antral involvement by nasal rhinoscleroma is uncommon.
    • Primary antroscleroma is exceedingly rare, with only two such cases documented here.

  • Differences in the physical, biological, and microbiological environment between the nose and maxillary sinus may contribute to the rarity of antroscleroma.

    • Implications:

    • Understanding the factors contributing to the rarity of antroscleroma is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
    • Further research into the unique sinus environment could elucidate pathogen behavior.
    • These cases expand the understanding of rhinoscleroma's clinical spectrum and anatomical predilection.
