[Exteriorized cholesteatoma of the maxillary sinus].
Cholesteatoma of the maxillary sinus is a very rare phenomenon, and there are only 43 published cases. The aetiology has not yet been completely explained, and relapses are very often. the authors describe a rare case of cholestesatoma of the maxillary sinus with exteriorisation and big destruction of sinus bone walls which did not differ from the malignant maxillary sinus. Radical surgery, using the operating microscope and microsurgical instruments, gave very good results, and there was no relapse ten years later.
