AI Article Synopsis
- - A 38-year-old man had a painful swelling in his right cheek, leading to the discovery of a firm, tender mass on the right maxilla, with normal skin over it.
- - Imaging tests (CT and MRI) revealed a 4x4 cm mass with cystic areas, affecting the right maxillary sinus and extending into the nasal cavity.
- - A biopsy confirmed it as myxoma, and after surgical removal through a medial maxillectomy, there were no recurrences observed over 24 months.
Article Abstract
A 38-year-old male presented with a slowly progressive and painful swelling in the right cheek. On palpation, a firm, fixed and tender mass was detected over the right maxilla, with normal overlying skin. Endoscopic examination revealed a submucosal mass protruding into the right nasal cavity along the lateral wall, extending from the vestibule to the sphenoid sinus. Computed tomography showed a well-defined, 4x4 cm mass with cystic compartments, obliterating the right maxillary sinus, with destruction to the medial wall and extension into the nasal cavity. Magnetic resonance imaging showed similar findings of extension. A transnasal biopsy yielded a diagnosis of myxoma. En bloc resection of the mass was performed through a medial maxillectomy. No clinical or radiological recurrences were noted during a follow-up period of 24 months.
