Background: Ectopic eruption of a tooth or osteoma rarely
occurs within the maxillary sinus. Coexistence of these two
rare entities in the maxillary sinus has never been reported
in the English literature.
Case Report: Herein, we present a 21 year-old male patient
with osteoma and ectopic tooth in the left maxillary sinus
treated with the removal of the ectopic tooth by endoscopic
sinus surgery and excision of the osteoma by the CaldwellLuc
procedure.
Conclusion: Unique coexistence of two different entities
in the maxillary sinus is most likely due to pediatric facial
trauma. Pediatric patients with maxillofacial trauma should
be carefully watched for dental injury both clinically and
radiologically
