摘要胆固醇肉芽肿常见于乳突窦及颞骨气房，而在副鼻窦则非常少见。在这种病理学的发展中，关键因素是存在含有渗出物和血液的封闭腔。本文报告我院六年来发现的六例上颌窦胆固醇肉芽肿。根据主要症状、临床表现和影像学表现（除部分患者窦壁破坏外），其病理与慢性上颌窦炎相似。所有患者均采用根治性手术治疗。在这项研究中，我们回顾了文献和我们的病例，并没有发现任何结果来解释为什么这种病理学经常发生在我们的地区。我们强烈建议对所有从鼻窦手术中获得的标本进行检查，因为上颌窦中的胆固醇肉芽肿可能被误认为慢性鼻窦炎。
Abstract It is common to find cholesterol granuloma in the mastoid antrum and air cells of the temporal bone, but it is very rare in paranasal sinuses. In the development of this pathology, the key factor is the presence of a closed cavity containing exudate and blood. Six cases of cholesterol granuloma of the maxillary sinus are presented from six years' study in our hospital. According to the main symptoms, clinical findings, and radiological appearance (except the destruction of the antrum wall in some patients), the pathology was similar to chronic maxillary sinusitis. All the patients were treated with radical operative techniques. In this study, we reviewed the literature and our cases, and could not detect any findings to explain why this pathology had occurred frequently in our district. We strongly recommend that investigations should be carried out on all specimens obtained from paranasal sinus surgery, because the cholesterol granuloma in the maxillary antrum could be mistaken for chronic sinusitis.
