Antrochonal polyp (ACP) is a benign, rare, and generally unilateral tumor which originates from the maxillary sinus mucosa. Bilateral ACP is extremely rare. Only few cases have been documented in the literature until 2018. The authors report the case of a 44-year-old women, who presented with a bilateral progressive nasal obstruction for the past 2 years, slight headache and a decreased sense of smell has been started in last four months. Nasal endoscopy revealed pale polypoidal masses in nasal cavities, arising from each middle meatus and extending to the nasopharynx. Computed tomography of the paranasal sinuses revealed the presence of soft-tissue masses in the maxillary sinuses, passing through the maxillary ostium, and extending into the corresponding nasal cavities, and posteriorly upto the nasopharynx. The other sinuses were normally aerated. The tumors were removed surgically with a nasal endoscopy technique. Histopathology examination the two lesions revealed benign inflammatory nasal polyps.

“…18 Forsini et al in his recent study with 200 cases reported that in a patient with a pre-existing antral cyst, and correlation of inflammatory anatomical alteration at ostiomeatal complex or middle meatus level can force the polyp to herniated outside through the accessory ostium 4 . An important factor to note is that ACP can be related with same chronic inflammatory condition either allergic or infectious, however the factors of cause and effect remain contradictory 19 . The most frequent symptom is unilateral nasal obstruction.…”
