TERATOMA OF THE MAXILLARY ANTRUM 
By Dr. H. E. Velarde 
The case described was that of a 14-year-old girl. The con- 
dition was of several years’ standing, there being an increasing 
prominence of the right face. The right maxilla in the region 
of the antrum of Highmore was found to be prominent and 
bulging, extending to the side of the nose. There was no in- 
flammation nor was there tenderness on pressure. A skiagram 
showed the presence of a tooth in the antrum. A radical op- 
eration was performed, the antrum being opened by a blow on 
a chisel, the membranous sac (containing fluid) was incised, and 
the sac and the single rooted tooth buried in the roof of the 
antrum and floor of the orbit were removed. An opening into 
the nose was left for drainage. The pathological examination 
indicated that the tumor mass was of the nature of an enamel 
organ or adamantinoma. The location is unusual.

in the eye which were located by double exposures with the
