The analysis of fluid aspirate glycosaminoglycans in diagnosis of the postoperative maxillary cyst (surgical ciliated cyst).
A characteristic electrophoretic pattern of glycosaminoglycans from fluid aspirates of the postoperative maxillary cyst has been observed. This pattern, in which hyaluronic acid and heparan sulfate are the predominant glycosaminoglycans (with lesser amounts of chondroitin-4-sulfate) may faciliate preoperative diagnosis of this lesion.
