[Inflammatory pseudotumor of the maxillary sinus: report of a new case and review of the literature].
A new case of inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) of the maxillary sinus is presented. The clinical and histological features of this rare entity are discussed. Immunohistochemical studies support a possible myofibroblastic origin. Early diagnosis is important to prevent IPT, classified as a benign disease, from becoming a progressive destructive lesion.
