title: [Mucocele of maxillary sinus].
abstract: The term mucocele designates a cyst developing from a sinus mucosa, generally the frontal and/or ethmoidal sinuses. Maxillary sinus localization is exceptional however and raises numerous diagnostic problems in daily practice. The antral mucoceles are potentially destructive lesions, often secondary to Caldwell-Luc procedure. In this article are described in some detail the clinical, radiological and histopathological features of true antral mucoceles.
