Description
Palem, Devarakonda, Navakoti, and Pendyala report a rare case of an odontogenic keratocyst growing inside the maxillary sinus, in this 2023 paper. This benign jaw lesion forms from tooth-related tissue and behaves aggressively despite not being cancer. It usually appears at the back of the lower jaw.
The case involved the upper sinus near the back teeth, an unusual address for the lesion. There it can masquerade as sinus infection or a polyp, which delays the right diagnosis. Left alone, the lesion can rarely turn into a more serious tumor. The authors stress early recognition, exact diagnosis, and planned follow-up care. Their message is that sinus look-alikes deserve a second thought.
