Retention cyst of the maxillary sinus is a benign lesion produced from obstruction of a seromucous gland or duct. It is mostly asymptomatic but sometimes is accompanied by facial pain, headache, nasal obstruction, and other symptoms. However, there are some debates on whether the symptoms are directly related with retention cyst. These cysts typically do not require treatment. However, when accompanied by symptoms, treatment can be administered for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. We report a case in which facial pain is caused by a maxillary retention cyst suspended from an infraorbital nerve.

PURPOSE: Maxillary sinus cancers usually are locally advanced and involve the structures around sinus. It is uncommon for this cancer to spread to the regional lymphnodes. For this reason, local control is of paramount important for cure. A policy of combined treatment is generally accepted as the most effective means of enhancing cure rates. This paper reports our experience of a retrospective study of 31 patients treated with radiation therapy alone and combination therapy of surgery and radiation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between July 1974 and January 1992, 47 patients with maxillary sinus cancers underwent either radiation therapy alone or combination therapy of surgery and radiation. Of these, only 31 patients were eligible for analysis. The distribution of clinical stage by the AJCC system was 26%(8/31) for T2 and 74%(23/31) for T3 and T4. Eight patients had palpable lymphadenopathy at diagnosis. Primary site was treated by Cobalt-60 radiation therapy using through a 45degree wedge-pair technique. Elective neck irradiation was not routinely given. Of these 8 patients, the six who had clinically involved nodes were treated with definite radiation therapy. The other two patients had received radical neck dissection. The twenty-two patients were treated with radiation alone and 9 patients were treated with combination radiation therapy. The RT alone patients with RT dose less than 60 Gy were 9 and those above 60 Gy were 13. RESULTS: The overall 5 year survival rate was 23.8%. The 5 year survival rate by T-stage was 60.5% and 7.9% for T2 and T3, 4 respectively. Statistical significance was found by T-stage (p<0.005). The 5 year survival rate by N-stage was 30% for N(-) and 8.3% for N(+), but statistically no significant difference was seen(p30.1). The 5 year survival rate for RT alone and combination RT was 22.5% and 27.4%, respectively. The primary local control rate was 65%(20/31). CONCLUSION: This study did not show significant difference in survival between RT alone and combination RT. There is still much controversy with regard to which treatment is optimum. Improved RT technique and development of multimodality treatment are essential to improve the local control and the survival rate in patients with advanced maxillary sinus cancer.

Causes of syncope are manifold. Hypersensitive carotid sinus reflex is a cause of syncope and other bradycardia symptoms. Rarely, maxillary neoplasms can cause carotid sinus syncope. The authors identified a case of carotid sinus syncope by maxillary neoplasm accompanied by vasovagal syncope.

The clinical manifestations of the disease lacked specificity,and the clinical symptoms were nasal obstruction, any blood in snively and slightly swelling pain on face. The neoplasm with unsmooth surface looked taupe and maroon, and was brittle and easy blooding. Paranasal sinus CT:crumbly mass lesion within the shadow filled in the left side of the maxillary sinus,and the sinus stopped up,sinus wall bone was absorpt and thinned, front and rear wall and inner wall bone were boundedness broken off, knuckle partly to the nasal cavity. Direct reinforcement MRI:in addition to the result of paranasal sinus CT,enhance examination found obviously asymmetrical intensify of the focus. The pathological diagnosis of postoperation was malignant melanoma on the left side of the maxillary sinus.
