ABSTRACT

Dentigerous cysts are the most common type of develomental odontogenic cysts and the second most common odontogenic cyst of jaw after radicular cysts. Although a rare cause of sinusitis in children, dentigerous cysts should be included in differential diagnosis for cause of persistent or recurrent sinusitis in this age group. We report an unusual case of a huge dentigerous cyst in maxillary sinus presenting as recurrent sinusitis in an adolescent. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2011;22:231-234)
