Abstract
- Dermoid cyst (DC), which is a cystic form of teratoma, is one of developmental anomalies in the soft tissue. DCs originating from the maxillary sinus have been very rarely reported. We have recently experienced a case of dermoid cyst arising from the maxillary sinus. The patient was a 44-year-old female who complained of swelling in the left cheek area. We could successfully operate the patient through sublabial approach with good results. Therefore, we present the case and briefly discuss the possible pathogenesis.
