Maxillary sinus mucopyocele in children: a case report and review of literature.
OBJECTIVE
To review the pathophysiology, clinical features, radiological findings, and treatment of this rare disease.


RESULTS
This report is about a 30-month-old child who is, to our knowledge, the youngest patient without cystic fibrosis with maxillary sinus mucopyocele. It is very unusual to see these problems in the pediatric age group.


CONCLUSIONS
Children with paranasal sinus mucocele or mucopyocele deserve screening for cystic fibrosis, even though it can occur in the absence of cystic fibrosis.
