Core Tip
Core Tip: Herein, we reported three cases of turbinate and pyogenic mucocele, including their clinical presentation, imaging findings, and treatment approach. Concha bullosa was the basis of turbinate and pyogenic mucocele. In our study, nasal obstruction and headaches were the most commonly reported symptoms, which was consistent with previous studies. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are essential for the accurate diagnosis of turbinate mucocele. Surgical removal of turbinate mucocele and pyogenic mucocele is the recommended procedure.
