Residual cyst are inflammatory odontogenic cysts that are usually asymptomatic and present on a post-extraction site. It is nothing else than a radicular cyst that is retained in the jaw after removal of the affected tooth. Also known as asymptomatic inflammatory odontgenic cyst, these cysts may rise from inflammatory fibrous and granulation tissue at the apex/periapical region of a tooth not curetted at the time of dental extraction. However, residual cyst in maxillary antrum is a rare finding. Here, we report the case regarding the residual cyst in the maxillary antrum. This report provides the evidence of residual cyst in the maxillary antrum extending from the maxillary third molar.
Odontogenic, fibrous, asymptomatic
