Giant expansive mass in the maxillary sinus

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Proliferating Trichilemmal Cyst (PTC) is a benign follicular tumor. We describe a 32-year-old male with progressive nasal obstruction, recurrent epistaxis, and periorbital swelling. Imaging revealed a soft-tissue mass with orbital extension, initially suggestive of a vascular lesion. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed PTC with mural vascular malformation. This case represents the first reported case of PTC in the maxillary sinus, underscoring the importance of considering PTC in the differential diagnosis of sinonasal tumors.
