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

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.

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
