1.	CholesterolIBA 07/01/1990 - "In one of the three patients, the etiology of the MR image remains obscure, but may represent the earliest stages of petrous cholesterol granuloma or mucocele. " 12/01/2007 - "Moreover, DWI will also facilitate discrimination between cholesteatomas accompanied by granulation and other non-neoplastic lesions such as mucoceles and cholesterol granulomas. " 09/01/2005 - "Orbital and ocular symptoms are also present in chronic sinusitis: mucocele, pyocele and cholesterol granuloma. " 07/01/2005 - "Cholesterol granuloma of the paranasal sinuses seems to have a close relation with chronic sinusitis, especially sinus mucocele. " 01/01/1987 - "Eleven non-neoplastic masses included four vascular anomalies, three cholesterol granulomas, two arachnoid cysts, one sphenoid mucocele and one mixed sclerosing bone dystrophy with mass-like thickening of basisphenoid and basiocciput.

2.	CosmeticsIBA 09/01/2007 - "CONCLUSIONS: Despite the overall improvement in cosmetic appearance following simple surgical excision of congenital lower lip sinuses, the high rate of mucocele formation and repeat surgery has led to cautious preoperative counseling regarding the risks and benefits of the procedure." 09/01/2004 - "The advantages of the procedures for mucocele removal include clear visualization of the frontal sinus for radical resection of the mucosa, preservation of the inner table avoiding dura manipulation, prevention of central nervous system infection, possibly lower rates of recurrence, prevention of mucosal ingrowth by plugging of the nasofrontal ducts with fascia, and favorable cosmetic outcome. " 12/01/1990 - "Immediate intervention is indicated only in case of evolutive neurological lesions; 2) wide exposition of all the injuries through bicoronal incision and bone flap; 3) assessment of fractures pattern and amount of bone loss; 4) reconstruction of craniofacial frame with osteosynthesis and autologous bone grafts (35 cases iliac crest, 7 split calvarial graft); 5) interosseous wiring is used in sutured mosaic, small bone fragments and intraoperative temporary fixation; miniplates are used for rigid fixation of craniofacial pillars; 6) for optimal cosmetic result reconstruction of supraorbital ridge, nasoglabellar region and zygomatic arch is essential; 7) fractures involving the sinus floor, posterior wall and the nasofrontal duct result in direct communication between the nose and intracranial cavity with high risk of infection and mucocele formation.

3.	Dinoprostone (PGE2)FDA Link 06/01/1987 - "Significantly greater levels of PGE2 were demonstrated in the mucocele mucosa. " 07/01/1988 - "These significantly elevated mucocele levels of prostaglandin E2 (p = less than 0.001) suggest that lining fibroblasts are a major source of bone-resorbing factors, acting under the stimulus of lymphocytes and monocytes and which operate at the mucocele-bone interface, facilitating expansion. " 07/01/1988 - "To elucidate the role of inflammation, mucocele fragments and fibroblasts cultured from them were examined in vitro to assess prostaglandin E2 synthesis. " 06/01/1987 - "The degree and duration of obstruction and the absence of alternative drainage routes are important in the development of this condition but to investigate the mechanism of bone resorption and mucocele expansion, PGE2 levels have been measured in the mucosa from mucoceles and normal frontal sinuses.

" 02/01/2008 - "Mucocele is a mucin-filled cavity, which can be multi-loculated as well. " 11/01/1998 - "PP may be caused by the perforation of a "mucinous cystoadenoma" with secretion of cellular material capable of implanting itself and spreading throughout the peritoneal cavity, or the presence of a mucocele of the appendix, or lastly the possibility of the intrabdominal transformation of the peritoneal mesothelium into mucin-secreting tissue." 09/01/1988 - "Mucocele of the vermiform appendix was the term formerly used to describe all mucin-secreting lesions of the appendix.

" 02/01/1994 - "A 63-year-old man had had repeated episodes of ileo-caecal intussusception, and a pre-operative barium enema revealed appendiceal mucocele as a leading cause. " 12/01/1988 - "A colic examination (with barium enema or colonoscopy) must be taken event if the diagnosis is made by US or CT means, because of the significant association of mucocele with other colonic tumors."
