Mucoceles are benign, expansile cystic masses covered by respiratory epithelium filled with mucus secreted by goblet cells interspersed in the ciliated mucosa. Mucoceles result from the accumulation and retention of the products of secretion, desquamation, and inflammation in cases where the drainage is obstructed. We present a case of a nasal mucocele that developed in a 50-year-old man, possibly related to a craniofacial trauma that had occurred 24 years earlier. This is an unusual case of posttraumatic glabellar mucocele with subcutaneous extension and nasal bone erosion without any neurologic or ophthalmologic involvement.
黏液囊肿是良性、扩张性囊性肿物，表面覆盖呼吸上皮，内部充满由散布于纤毛黏膜中的杯状细胞分泌的黏液。黏液囊肿是由于分泌物、脱屑物及炎症产物在引流受阻的情况下积聚和潴留所致。我们报告一例50岁男性发生的鼻黏液囊肿，可能与24年前发生的颅面外伤有关。这是一例罕见的创伤后眉间黏液囊肿，伴有皮下扩展和鼻骨侵蚀，无任何神经或眼科受累表现。
