Introduction
Cholesterol granuloma is a type of foreign body granuloma found in tissues wherein the cholesterol crystals get accumulated. Quite unusual to be present in maxillary sinus owing to its pathogenesis.
Case Report
A 12 year old male child diagnosed with antrochoanal polyp, underwent endoscopic sinus surgery and the microscopic analyses revealed maxillary sinus cholesterol granuloma.
Discussion
Cholesterol granuloma is an uncommon tissue reaction to cholesterol crystals in the maxillary sinus owing to its well-ventilated state and is frequently associated with chronic sinuses disease or trauma. Since its signs and symptoms are non–specific, histopathological analysis is essential for correct diagnosis.
