Popis: Two patients with isolated bone fragments in the maxillary sinus are described and discussed with a review of the literature. One patient was a 46-year-old woman, and the other was a 57-year-old woman. These patients had no symptoms, but had fallen on their faces.Orthopantomography revealed calcified structures in the molar region near the maxillary sinus. Osteoma of the maxillary sinus was suspected.Under local anesthesia, the lesions were removed from the maxillary sinus and examined histopathologically. The structures were comfirmed to be isolated bone fragments consisting of mature bone tissue. After surgical treatment, complications improved.
