Abstract

Myxomas of the maxillary sinus are rare but well described mesenchymal neoplasms. They may be related to dental malformations or missing teeth, but may also occur without any such abnormalities. Although these tumors are well circumscribed, they are often more extensive than apparent because of their local aggressiveness and ability to erode bone. They tend to recur despite their benign nature, so it should be widely resected to prevent recurrence. A brief overview of the literature and a report of a case of myxoma of the maxillary sinus is presented.
