Abstract

Diagnosis of maxillary sinus pathologies is challenging. Herewith we describe the clinicopathological features in isolated maxillary sinus lesions in tertiary care hospital in Goa, India. The retrospective study included patients treated between 2017 and 2022, of all age groups and gender, who underwent either a biopsy or surgery, providing a histopathological diagnosis. Of the 117 pathologies, 88 (75.2%) were non-neoplastic. The overall frequency of pathologies were polyp in 40.2%, fungal lesions (18.8%), malignancy (13.7%), chronic rhinosinusitis (11.9%) and inverted papilloma (10.3%). There were 71 men (60.7%) and 46 women (39.3%). There were 10 patients (8.5%) below 20 years of age, of which 8 patients (80%) had non-neoplastic pathology. Common comorbidities were diabetes and hypertension, while symptoms were nasal blockage (75.2%), nasal discharge (47%) and ocular redness (16.2%). Each pathology was evaluated for demography, side of lesion, comorbidity, and symptoms. Most isolated maxillary sinus pathologies were benign lesions. However, a strong clinical suspicion and histopathological confirmation is needed for all lesions in all age groups due to a risk of malignancy.
