title: [Plasma cell granuloma of maxillary sinuses].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the clinical features and treatment of plasma cell granuloma in maxillary sinuses.
  
  
  METHODS
  The clinical information of 3 cases was reported and the literatures were also reviewed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All of the 3 cases were cured after Caldwell-Luc operation combined with oral corticosteroids and antiallergic agent. Recurrence hasn't been found in half to 2 years follow-up period.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Plasma cell granuloma of maxillary sinus is a chronic inflammatory lesion with unknown origin. In almost all of the cases, CT images showed some degree of involvement of the bony wall of the maxillary sinuses. The imaging findings mimicker malignant tumors. But the prognosis were quite well in most of the patients.
