A rare postoperative maxillary cyst developed 26 years after Caldwell-Luc surgery. Though common in Japanese literature, this case highlights a delayed complication in a non-oriental patient, initially suspected as malignant.

Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Pathology

Background:

  • The Caldwell-Luc procedure is a surgical approach to the maxillary sinus.
  • Postoperative maxillary cysts are rare complications.
  • Delayed development of such cysts is exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

  • A case report details a maxillary cyst forming 26 years post-radical Caldwell-Luc procedure.
  • The cyst presented with significant size and damage on clinical and radiological examination.
  • This occurrence is rare in non-oriental populations but documented in Japanese literature.

Findings:

  • The study presents a unique case of a long-delayed postoperative maxillary cyst.
  • Initial assessment, based on size and observed damage, raised suspicion of malignancy.

  • The case underscores the potential for late-onset complications following sinus surgery.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of long-term follow-up after Caldwell-Luc surgery.
    • It suggests that postoperative maxillary cysts, even delayed ones, should be considered in differential diagnoses.
    • Further research may be needed to understand the pathogenesis of late-developing cysts after sinus procedures.
