A member asked:

In my mri brain screening, though it came normal, i noticed they've pointed as "mucosal polyp at right maxillary sinus". what could happen by that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing. It is a: benign finding and has no clinical significance,unless the polyp was huge,in which case it would need to be removed.
