Myxomas of the maxillary antrum are rare tumours, particularly in childhood. Although circumscribed, they are often more extensive than apparent and so tend to recur despite their benign nature. Myxomas are gelatinous and are composed of stellate and spindle cells embedded in an abundant alcian blue-positive, mucoid stroma in which blood vessels are often scattered throughout the tumour. Three patients with maxillary myxomas, all presenting in infancy or early childhood, are described.
上颌窦黏液瘤是罕见的肿瘤，在儿童时期尤为少见。尽管其边界清晰，但通常比表面看起来范围更广，因此尽管性质为良性，仍容易复发。黏液瘤呈凝胶状，由星状细胞和梭形细胞组成，这些细胞嵌入丰富的阿利新蓝阳性黏液样基质中，肿瘤内血管常分散分布。本文描述了3例上颌窦黏液瘤患者，均在婴儿期或幼儿期发病。
