Abstract Background We report a rare case of fatty tissue within the maxillary sinus in a 21-years-old woman with a history of several previous punctures of the maxillary sinus. Case presentation Clinical data of the patient was analysed retrospectively. The patient presented with symptoms of left-sided chronic maxillary sinusitis and had undergone several punctures of the left maxillary sinus 18 months earlier. Subsequent to one of the procedures an acute pain in the left orbit lasting a couple of days was noted. Left endoscopic transnasal antrotomy was performed. The maxillary sinus was filled with polypous chronically inflamed mucous membrane. Upon its removal the maxillary roof was identified as drawn downwards and covered with normal mucous membrane. Upon dissection of the membrane adipose tissue filling the zygomatic recess of the sinus was identified and subsequently removed. The maxillary roof was unchanged. Histopatologic examination confirmed the material to be adipose tissue. No short or long term sequelae occurred. Conclusion Adipose .
