Abstract

A surgical ciliated cyst of the maxilla is a rare, benign lesion that arises in the maxillary sinus or surrounding areas, characterized by its lining of ciliated epithelial cells. These cysts are typically filled with mucous and are often asymptomatic but can cause problems due to their location, leading to symptoms like facial pain, sinus infections, or obstructed nasal airflow. Surgical removal is often necessary, especially if the cyst is large or symptomatic. We report a case of Surgical ciliated cyst of left maxillary sinus in 30 years-old male patient possibly after a surgical extraction of tooth, for which enucleation was done as a treatment modality resulting in good outcomes.
