Unilateral sinus disease has a wide differential diagnosis. When a patient has a history of maxillary dental work on the same side as the sinusitis, a foreign entity introduced during or subsequent to the dental manipulation must be considered. We present a case of calcified maxillary cyst that was discovered at the site of a remote tooth extraction. Pathologic analysis revealed the presence of vegetable matter within the cyst. To the best of our knowledge, no case of a maxillary cyst secondary to vegetable matter has been previously reported in the literature.
单侧鼻窦疾病的鉴别诊断范围广泛。当患者在鼻窦炎同侧有上颌牙齿治疗史时，必须考虑在牙齿操作期间或之后引入的异物。我们报告一例在远处拔牙部位发现的钙化上颌囊肿病例。病理分析显示囊肿内存在植物物质。据我们所知，此前文献中尚未报道过继发于植物物质的上颌囊肿病例。
