Popis: An antrolith is a calcified mass found in the nasal cavity or sinus, usually maxillary, described in literature as a rare phenomenon. Its presenting symptoms are variable and include symptoms associated with chronic sinusitis. We describe a 66 year old man with chronic sinusitis who presented with facial pain and epistaxis and upon further evaluation was found to have an antrolith of the left maxillary sinus.
