A postoperative maxillary cyst (POMC) is an epithelium-lined cyst that can develop following surgery or trauma in the maxillary antral region. This condition arises from the entrapment of the sinonasal mucosa in the maxilla, and rarely in the mandible, due to trauma or instrumentation near the maxillary sinus. Literature indicates that POMCs, or surgical ciliated cysts, can appear as delayed complications from five months to 56 years after trauma or surgical procedures in the sinus area. Despite its potential for aggressive local destruction, it often presents incidentally with minimal symptoms. This clinical case report describes the occurrence of such a cyst in a 30-year-old male and discusses the diagnosis and management of this rare pathology.
上颌术后囊肿（POMC）是一种内衬上皮的囊肿，可在颌窦区域手术后或创伤后形成。这种情况是由于鼻窦黏膜在创伤或上颌窦附近进行器械操作时被上颌骨包裹所致，很少发生在下颌骨。文献表明，POMC或手术性纤毛囊肿可作为鼻窦区域创伤或手术后5个月至56年出现的延迟并发症。尽管它有局部侵袭性破坏的可能性，但通常症状轻微，多为偶然发现。本临床病例报告描述了一名30岁男性发生这种囊肿的情况，并讨论了这种罕见病理的诊断和治疗。
