Maxillary sinus mucocele is a benign cyst formation that originates within the sinus and is lined by epithelium containing mucus. It’s a rare pathology characterized by a clinical polymorphism. This study reports the case of a giant left maxillary sinus mucocele in a 61-year-old female patient. Through clinical examination, vestibular deformation from tooth 23 to tooth 26 was determined, and also an exophthalmos. Facial CT scan showed a cystic mass of the left maxillary sinus with bone thinning. The treatment consisted in the excision of the mucocele pocket through Caldwell-Luc approach under general anesthesia.
