Article Synopsis
- Pott's puffy tumor (PPT) is a rare infection of the frontal bone, posing serious neurological risks, and has been documented in cases involving immune dysfunction like Incontinentia pigmenti (IP).
- A literature review found 12 cases of PPT linked to immune issues, with diabetes and iatrogenic immunosuppression as common causes; surgical intervention is the primary treatment.
- PPT is increasingly recognized in patients with immune suppression, necessitating prompt and effective management to ensure better health outcomes.

A 76-year-old woman, initially thought to have a simple abscess on her right upper eyelid, presented to our department of plastic and reconstructive surgery. Enhanced three-dimensional facial computed tomography (CT) revealed an abscess on the right upper lid, with a pyomucocele present in the right frontal sinus, accompanied by bone erosion in the superior wall of the right orbit. Based on the results of the CT scan, we diagnosed an atypical Pott's puffy tumor (PPT) with an abscess on the upper lid originating from the frontal sinusitis.

Objective: Low incidence of Pott's Puffy tumor (PPT) has caused studying risk factors and recurrences of the disease to be difficult. We used the comparatively increased incidence at our institution to evaluate potential risk factors for the disease process itself and prognostic factors for recurrence of the disease.
Methods: Single institutional retrospective chart review identified 31 patients from 2010 to 2022 with PPT compared with a control group of 20 patients with either chronic rhinosinusitis or recurrent sinusitis.
