Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

According to the reports you have polyp or retention cyst in left maxillary sinus.There is also scattered mucosal thickening,these are the changes of sinusitis.
Proper treatment will be avulsion of polyp or conservative method depending upon symptoms and level of obstruction.
The mastoid cells are clear.
Hope i have answered your query.
