Mucoceles are accumulations of trapped mucus, forming cystic expansile lesions. Maxillary sinus mucoceles are rare amongst paranasal sinus mucoceles, usually being a late sequel of Caldwell-Luc surgery. We present a case of a maxillary sinus mucocele due to a persistent carious deciduous molar in a middle aged patient, reported to highlight its unusual etiology.
黏液囊肿是潴留黏液的积聚,形成囊性膨胀性病变。上颌窦黏液囊肿在鼻窦黏液囊肿中较为罕见,通常是考德威尔-卢氏手术的晚期后遗症。我们报告一例中年患者因乳牙龋坏残留导致上颌窦黏液囊肿的病例,旨在强调其不寻常的病因。
