Oedema, hypertrophy, polyposis, atrophy or empyema of the maxillary sinus are common features of rhinoscleroma. However, actual involvement of the antrum by the nasal granuloma is rare and primary scleroma of the antrum is of extreme rarity. Three cases of antroscleroma are presented, one secondary to an extensive rhinoscleroma and two primary. The difference in the physical, biological and microbiological environment in the antrum from that in the nose might explain the rarity of antroscleroma.
上颌窦水肿、肥大、息肉样变、萎缩或积脓是鼻硬结病的常见特征。然而,鼻肉芽肿实际累及上颌窦的情况很少见,而原发性上颌窦硬结病极为罕见。本文报告3例上颌窦硬结病,1例继发于广泛的鼻硬结病,2例为原发性。上颌窦与鼻腔在物理、生物学和微生物学环境上的差异可能解释了上颌窦硬结病的罕见性。
