retention cyst
Question:
greetings, i just got my radiology report for my sinus ct scan and i have a few questions. the reports says that i have a ‘lobular fluid or soft tissue mass in the floor of my LEFT maxillary antrum measuring approx. 1.8 cm in size, consistent with a polyp or retention cyst from chronic inflammatory disease’.my first question is do these types of things require hospital surgery or can my ent deal with this thing in his office? ( i’m assuming surgery will be required ). second question is if this thing is hanging out in my LEFT maxillary but causing major pain in the RIGHT side of my face?. i thought the two sides were separate. thanks for any info and a very safe and happy new year to all cj

I also have retention cysts in my maxilary sinus. Each ENT I’ve seen didn’t recommend removal. They say that the cysts are just a symtom of the sinusitis but not the cause. I’m still sick though so I really don’t buy into their theory much. Finding a doctor that knows what he’s doing is the most difficult part of this disease. David Sacramento, CA

my ent said that having a retention cyst is like having a goatee (he really said that), meaning that its no big deal. he suggested seeing a neurologist for the headaches. i thought he was a bit of an a-hole. cant wait to see the co-pay bill.good luck cj – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Dball63 wrote: > I also have retention cysts in my maxilary sinus.
