A member asked:
What does having a right maxillary retention cyst in the neck mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cyst: Great question. Maxillary cysts are in the maxillary sinus which is a cavity below your eye and over your lip. A cyst is a benign ballon of mucous in that sinus. They are very common and usually are not treated. If the cyst uncommonly becomes very large they would require surgery. ( again very uncommon)
