          Abstract

          Abstract Mucocele of Maxillary sinus is a rare entity comprising 2-10% of all mucoceles and develops due to obstruction of drainage ostium. Here, we present a case of maxillary sinus mucocele in a 20-year-old male who presented with diffuse swelling on the left side of his face. Provisional diagnosis of mucocele was made on a computed tomography scan, which was later confirmed on histopathology. The lesion was managed surgically with uneventful healing at 2 weeks and 3 months follow-up. Mucoceles are often misdiagnosed as cysts or tumours of odontogenic origin on the conventional radiograph. Delay in diagnosis can result in complications due to the expansion of mucocele towards adjacent structures such as the nose and orbit. Therefore, it becomes crucial to diagnose it appropriately with the help of higher imaging modalities so that it can be managed well in time.

          Resumen El mucocele del seno maxilar es una entidad rara que comprende el 2-10% de todos los mucoceles y se desarrolla debido a la obstrucción del ostium de drenaje. A continuación, presentamos un caso de mucocele del seno maxilar en un hombre de 20 años que presentó una inflamación difusa en el lado izquierdo de la cara. El diagnóstico provisional de mucocele se realizó en una tomografía computarizada, que luego se confirmó en la histopatología. La lesión se manejó quirúrgicamente con curación sin incidentes a las 2 semanas y 3 meses de seguimiento. Los mucoceles a menudo se diagnostican erróneamente como quistes o tumores de origen odontogénico en la radiografía convencional. El retraso en el diagnóstico puede dar lugar a complicaciones debido a la expansión del mucocele hacia estructuras adyacentes como la nariz y la órbita. Por lo tanto, se vuelve crucial diagnosticarlo adecuadamente con la ayuda de modalidades de imágenes superiores para que pueda manejarse bien a tiempo.

          Involvement of cytokines and vascular adhesion receptors in the pathology of fronto-ethmoidal mucocoeles.

          Fronto-ethmoidal mucocoeles have the capacity to destroy bone. Sinus lining tissue has been obtained at surgery from patients with mucocoeles, from those with chronic sinusitis undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery and from patients undergoing craniofacial resection. Tissues have been frozen, sectioned, and subjected to immunohistochemical examination with monospecific antibodies for the presence of the potent osteolytic cytokines interleukins-1 and -6 and tumour necrosis factor alpha. In addition, the chemotactic intercrine--interleukin-8 was investigated. The presence of the cytokine-inducible vascular endothelial adhesion receptors--Inter-Cellular Adhesion Molecule (ICAM)-1 and E-Selectin (also known as Endothelial Leukocyte Adhesion Molecule--ELAM) was also determined. Normal sinus tissue showed no immunoreactivity with the antibodies to these various moieties. Surprisingly, only a small proportion of tissues from patients with chronic sinusitis showed the presence of cytokines or vascular adhesion receptors. In contrast, all specimens of fronto-ethmoidal mucocoeles showed positive staining for IL-1 alpha and beta and for ICAM-1 and E-selectin. IL-1 immunostaining was restricted to the epithelial cell population not being found in infiltrating leukocytes. In 40% of mucocoeles infiltrating macrophage-like cells showed the presence of tumour necrosis factor alpha. The presence of the potent osteolytic cytokine--IL-1 in all specimens of fronto-ethmoidal mucocoeles coupled to the finding of the IL-1-inducible adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and E-Selectin argues strongly that IL-1 is released from the epithelial cells and that this cytokine may be the factor causing the erosion of bone overlying the expanding mucocoele. The nature of the signals inducing cytokine synthesis remain, however, unidentified.

            Fronto-ethmoidal mucocoeles: a histopathological analysis.

            From a series of 118 fronto-ethmoidal mucocoeles, 40 specimens have been submitted to detailed histological analysis. The frequency of each epithelial and sub-epithelial component is considered and reveals features which support a dynamic theory of bone resorption and formation rather than that of pressure erosion in the pathogenesis of mucocoeles.

              Maxillary sinus mucocele: predisposing factors, clinical presentations, and treatment.

              Maxillary sinus mucocele (MSM) is uncommon lesion and has many presenting features. The aim of this study was to detect the possible predisposing factors, clinical characteristics, and to assess the efficacy of trans-nasal endoscopic treatment of this lesion.
