We report an interesting case of maxillary sinus pneumocele that presented with aesthetic deformity and completely treated with Caldwell-Luc approach and thoroughly review all of the past literature focusing on clinical symptoms and surgical approach. Based on our comprehensive review of maxillary sinus pneumocele, we found 2 important characteristics. First, maxillary sinus pneumocele may be asymptomatic but cause various symptoms owing to the displacement of neighboring structures, such as facial symptoms, eye symptoms, and nasal obstruction. Second, there is no standard operation technique for maxillary sinus pneumocele, but surgical approach should be individualized depending on patient's symptoms and needs. Therefore, more case studies are needed to confirm this.

Chondromas rarely occur in the nasal area and are usually found in the metaphyseal area of the phalanges and metacarpals of the hands, as well as the pelvis, sternum and scapula. The authors present an unusual case of dysphagia induced by histologically confirmed chondroma arising from the nasal septum. Treatment is to completely remove the mass with adequate margins of normal tissues to prevent recurrence and malignancy. Intranasal endoscopic removal of tumor with an adequate margin of normal tissue. After one year of treatment, there was no evidence of recurrence. We present a case of nasal septal chondroma in 18-year-old male. Keywords: chondroma; dysphagia; septum.
