HISTOMORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MAXILLARY SINUS CYSTS

Abstract

Cysts of the maxillary sinus (sinus maxillaris) represent one of the most common pathological conditions encountered in maxillofacial surgery and otorhinolaryngological practice. Their aetiology, clinical course, and potential complications are influenced by a variety of factors. This scientific article provides an in-depth analysis of the histomorphological characteristics of maxillary sinus cysts, with particular emphasis on the types of epithelial lining, the structural organisation of the connective tissue stroma, inflammatory cell infiltration, vascular alterations, and degenerative processes. Based on the results of histological and histomorphometric examinations, the pathogenetic mechanisms of cyst formation are substantiated, along with their clinical significance and the decisive role of histological assessment in accurate diagnosis.
