Abstract

Nasosinusal mucoceles, although benign, are aggressive and sometimes destructive lesions. They may occur as a result of trauma, infection, sinus surgery and head and neck radiation. We describe three patients presenting mucocele, with the history of nasopharyngeal and temporal fossa cancers treated by radiotherapy.
