Abstract
Surgical ciliated cyst is often described as a postoperative maxillary cyst or paranasal cyst. Characterized by an aggressive injury, it is commonly described in patients who underwent radical surgery on the maxillary sinus region, such as orthognathic or Caldwell-Luc procedures. Herein we report a case of a 47-year-old patient complaining of spontaneous pain and swelling in the anterior maxilla, presenting a history of a 9-month-old surgery in the posterior maxilla intended to remove an odontogenic cystic lesion. CT scan showed a low-density lesion in the left maxillary sinus region. Biopsy and histopathologic examination established the diagnosis of surgical ciliated cyst. The patient is under a 2-year non-symptomatic follow-up.
