ABSTRACT

Myospherulosis is a peculiar recurrent inflammatory condition of submucosal tissue induced by the presence of petrolatum-based antibiotic ointments.

Since McCIatchie(l969) had reported this disease, a few series documenting myospherulosis have appeared in the literatures, but it was not reported yet in Korean literatures.

Recently, authors experienced a case of myospherulosis in the maxillary sinus and report this case with review of literatures.
