Abstract
Introduction

Mucoceles are slow-growing, benign lesions found in the paranasal sinuses that are locally destructive, causing bony resorption and displacement of adjacent structures. We present our experience in the surgical treatment of these lesions.

Methods

This was a retrospective review of 58 paranasal sinus mucoceles in 54 patients between 1989 and 2012. We describe patient age and sex, mucocele location, clinical features, surgical approaches employed, recurrence and complications.

Results

The mean age of patients in this series was 59 years; there were 31 males (57%) and 23 females (43%). Thirty-two cases (55%) were located in the frontal or ethmoid–frontal system, 8 (14%) in the ethmoid sinus, 14 (24%) in the maxillary sinus and 4 (7%) in sphenoid sinus. Predisposing factors were present in 55% of the patients and 45% cases were primary. Endoscopic treatment was given to 71% of mucocele patients, while 29% were treated with external or combined approaches. Recurrence appeared in 4 patients (7%), 2 in the endoscopic surgery group and 2 in the external surgery group.

Conclusions

The procedure of choice for management of paranasal sinus mucoceles is endoscopic drainage. It is a safe approach that gives good results.

Resumen
Introducción

Los mucoceles son lesiones benignas que afectan a los senos paranasales, de crecimiento lento, con capacidad de reabsorción ósea. Exponemos nuestra experiencia en el tratamiento quirúrgico de estas lesiones.

Métodos

Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo de 58 mucoceles nasosinusales diagnósticados en 54 pacientes entre los años 1989–2012. Se analizaron las diferentes localizaciones, distribución por edad y sexo, características clínicas, tipo de abordaje quirúrgico, recidivas y complicaciones.

Resultados

La edad media de los pacientes en el momento del diagnóstico fue de 59 años. El 57% de los pacientes (31/54) fueron varones y el 43% (23/54) mujeres. En el 55% de los casos (32/58) el mucocele estaba localizado en el seno frontal o en la región frontoetmoidal, un 14% (8/58) en el seno etmoidal, un 24% (14/58) en el seno maxilar y un 7% (4/58) en seno esfenoidal. En el 55% de los casos se identificó algún factor predisponente, siendo el 45% mucoceles primarios. El 71% de los pacientes fueron tratados con un abordaje endonasal endoscópico y en el 29% se realizó un abordaje abierto o combinado. Observamos un total de 4 recidivas (7%), 2 en el grupo abordaje endonasal endoscópico y 2 en el grupo tratado con cirugía abierta.

Conclusiones

El tratamiento de elección de los mucoceles nasosinusales es la marsupialización por vía endonasal endoscópica, siendo una técnica segura y con buenos resultados.
