Abstract
The cholesterol granuloma is a particular form of granulation tissue developing as part of a variety of tissue reactions. It is usually associated with chronic middle ear disease and is common in the mastoid antrum of temporal bone. Cholesterol granuloma is rare in maxillary antrum. A case is reported of cholesterol granuloma in the maxillary sinus of a 42-year-old man, with the unique feature that the soft tissue lesion is enclosed by thick bone, entirely within the sinus.Entities:
