In this case report, two patients were initially presented with orbital symptoms due to undiagnosed sinonasal disease. An eight-year-old girl was suspected of preseptal cellulitis due to swelling and redness around the right eye for a month. MRI of the orbit showed a change in the orbit suspected to be a tumour. Regression in symptoms was seen after three months and a mucocele was suspected. The other patient was a 57-year-old woman suspected of left-side acute dacryocystitis with a palpable mass above the medial canthus for a month. MRI was performed due to atypical presentation and showed tumour changes originating from the ethmoid sinus.

BACKGROUND
Maxillary sinus mucocele is a rare form of mucocele and are usually under diagnosed due to its vague symptomatic presentation. It is caused by obstruction of the natural ostium and accumulation of secretions inside the sinus cavities. It is a locally expansile lesion and symptoms are due to pressure on surrounding structures.
CASE PRESENTATION
A 45 -year- old female patient presented with swelling on the left side of the face for 6 months with left infra orbital pain. On examination the swelling was diffuse in the left side of cheek. CT scan showed a homogenous opacity completely filling the maxillary sinus with expansion of the walls which helped in diagnosing the condition. Endoscopic marsupialisation was done and the patient is under follow-up for more than a year with no recurrence.
CONCLUSION
Maxillary sinus mucocele is an epithelium lined sac filled with mucous secretions. They are expansile and can cause bony erosion of surrounding anatomical structures. It is mainly differentiated radiologically by the presence of air in the sinus cavity. CT scan shows homogenous opacity completely filling the antrum with no air shadow. The walls may be thickened or thinned out. Endoscopic marsupialisation of the mucocele gives excellent results with minimal recurrence. Maxillary mucocele being a rare benign cystic lesion is mostly under diagnosed. Hence, proper clinical examination and radiological evaluation help in early diagnosis. Appropriate surgical management gives a good success rate with nil recurrence.

The soft tissue tumor lipoma is quite frequent. Although it is the most mesenchymal tumor of the trunk and proximal regions of the extremities, it is quite uncommon to find it on the oral mucosa, accounting for just 1% to 5% of benign oral tumors. There is no specific location that is more prone to lipoma development in the mouth. Some frequent sites are the tongue, buccal mucosa, and the mouth's floor. A Yellowish mass with no symptoms is the normal clinical appearance. In most cases, the overlaying epithelium is unharmed, and superficial blood vessels may be seen passing through and around the tumor. The differential diagnosis might also include granular cell tumors, neurofibroma, traumatic fibroma, and diseases of the salivary glands (mucocele and mixed tumor). Herein a detailed case of a 28-year-old woman with a right-sided lower-lip oral lipoma is presented in this paper.

Review
Appendiceal mucinous neoplasms have been classified differently over time causing confusion when comparing results between working groups in this field and establishing a prognosis of the disease. A historical perspective of the different classification systems of these tumors is essential for the understanding of the evolution of concepts and histopathological definitions that have led up to the present moment. We carried out a systematic review of the pathological classifications of appendiceal mucinous tumors and how they have included the new criteria resulting from clinical and pathological research. The latest classifications by PSOGI and AJCC 8th edition Cancer Staging have made a great effort to incorporate the new pathological descriptions and develop prognostic groups. The introduction of these new classification systems has posed the challenge of verifying how they adapt to our casuistry and which one defines best the prognosis of our patients. We reclassified our series of patients treated for mucinous appendiceal tumors with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy following the PSOGI and the AJCC 8th edition criteria and concluded that both classifications correspond well with the OS and DFS of these patients, with some advantage relative to the PSOGI classification due to a better histopathological description of the different groups.
