This review focuses on an anatomical variation of the maxillary sinus that can mimic a radicular (periapical) cyst. Knowledge of morphological variations, their prevalence, and the radiographic criteria distinguishing these variations from true lesions is essential to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment and to prevent unnecessary or potentially harmful interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The aim of this study was to perform a systematic literature search of published cases and to present a clinical case illustrating a specific maxillary sinus variant, an enlarged sinus with a prominent alveolar recess that can mimic a periapical cyst on radiographs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>After defining specific MeSH terms, a systematic literature search was conducted across three databases: Web of Science, PubMed, and Embase.
