Abstract
- The postoperative cheek cyst develops as a delayed complication, usually 10 to 20 years after the Caldwell-Luc operation. The most common symptoms are swelling or pain of the cheek and the mucogingival fold of the maxilla. The pathophysiology of postoperative cheek cyst is under debate. Clinically bony destruction of infraorbital portion of orbit is rare. Recently, we experienced a case of a postoperative cheek cyst which had a infraorbital protrusion, so we report this rare case with the review of literatures.
