Post-orthognathic surgical ciliated cyst (POSCC) is a benign, acquired cystic lesion associated with a history of orthognathic surgery, maxillofacial trauma, and similar events. This study presents a case of a maxillary POSCC that developed five years after a Le Fort I advancement osteotomy.
A 25-year-old male patient developed a painless, gradually fluctuant swelling in the anterior maxillary area following previous surgical treatment. Radiographic investigations revealed a unilocular radiolucent lesion from the left to right premolars, encompassing the apices of the teeth with a scalloped border. With clinicopathological correlation and consideration of the patient's history, the diagnosis of surgical ciliated cyst was confirmed. Decompression followed by lesion excision was performed for the patient. A one year follow-up showed no recurrence or complications.
Although POSCC is a rare complication following surgery involving the maxillary bone and sinus, it can lead to large lesions with extensive growth. Long-term radiographic follow up is highly recommended after Le Fort osteotomy.
正颌外科手术后纤毛囊肿(POSCC)是一种良性获得性囊性病变,与正颌外科手术、颌面创伤及类似事件相关。本研究报告1例上颌POSCC病例,该病例在Le Fort I型前徙截骨术后5年发生。
一名25岁男性患者在先前手术治疗后,上颌前部区域出现无痛性、逐渐增大的波动性肿胀。影像学检查显示,从左侧到右侧前磨牙区有一个单房性透射性病变,包绕牙齿根尖,边界呈扇贝状。结合临床病理并考虑患者病史,确诊为外科纤毛囊肿。对该患者进行了减压及病变切除手术。一年的随访显示无复发或并发症。
虽然POSCC是上颌骨和鼻窦手术后罕见的并发症,但可导致大的病变并广泛生长。Le Fort截骨术后强烈建议进行长期影像学随访。
