Frontal mucocele usually presents with the visual complaints such as diplopia, diminution of vision, visual field defect, ptosis, orbital swelling, retro-orbital pain, displacement of eye globe, and proptosis. Very rarely, it can be present as a subcutaneous swelling. This article presents a 58-year-old male patient presenting with an asymptomatic periorbital swelling and a painless forehead mass of 3 years duration. There was a partial ptosis, and an elongated, soft, subcutaneous mass over the forehead. Surgical excision of the mass confirmed the diagnosis of a mucocele. Postoperatively, the patient was asymptomatic. A subcutaneous soft-tissue mass may be the presenting complaint of a frontal mucocele. Careful examination of the surrounding skin may suggest the diagnosis of sinus-related disease and thus direct appropriate investigations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/1793-5482.180908","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,21]],"date-time":"2016-04-21T06:45:48Z","timestamp":1461221148000},"page":"760-762","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Frontal mucocele mimicking a frontal subcutaneous tumor"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Ellath","family":"Bijith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Government Medical College, Kottayam, Kerala"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shaju","family":"Mathew","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Government Medical College, Kottayam, Kerala"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Krishnaswamy","family":"Mahadevan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Government Medical College, Kottayam, Kerala"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"key-10.4103\/1793-5482.180908-1","first-page":"397","volume-title":"An unusual presentation of a giant frontal sinus mucocele manifesting with a subcutaneous forehead mass","author":"Tan","year":"2005","journal-title":"Ann Acad Med Singapore"},{"key":"key-10.4103\/1793-5482.180908-2","first-page":"E527","volume-title":"Frontal sinus mucocele with intracranial and intraorbital extension","author":"Peral","year":"2006","journal-title":"Med Oral Patol Oral Cir Bucal"},{"key":"key-10.4103\/1793-5482.180908-3","first-page":"6","volume-title":"Frontal mucocele with an accompanying orbital abscess mimicking a fronto-orbital mucocele: Case report","author":"Aydin","year":"2006","journal-title":"BMC Ear Nose Throat Disord"},{"key":"key-10.4103\/1793-5482.180908-4","first-page":"337","volume-title":"Frontal sinus mucocele with intracranial and intraorbital extension: A case report","author":"Mohan","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Maxillofac Oral Surg"},{"key":"key-10.4103\/1793-5482.180908-5","first-page":"1537","volume-title":"Posttraumatic frontal mucocele","author":"Rosado","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Craniofac Surg"},{"key":"key-10.4103\/1793-5482.180908-6","first-page":"8","volume-title":"Controversies in the management of frontal sinus mucoceles","author":"Constantinidis","year":"2010","journal-title":"Otorhinolaryngologia Head Neck Surg"},{"key":"key-10.4103\/1793-5482.180908-7","first-page":"73","volume-title":"Frontal mucocele causing unilateral proptosis","author":"James","year":"2009","journal-title":"Med J Armed Forces India"},{"key":"key-10.4103\/1793-5482.180908-8","first-page":"e36","volume-title":"In-office balloon dilation and drainage of frontal sinus mucocele","author":"Eloy","year":"2013","journal-title":"Allergy Rhinol (Providence)"},{"key":"key-10.4103\/1793-5482.180908-9","first-page":"200","volume-title":"Frontal mucocele presenting with forehead subcutaneous mass: An unusual presentation","author":"Borkar","year":"2008","journal-title":"Turk Neurosurg"},{"key":"key-10.4103\/1793-5482.180908-10","first-page":"294","volume-title":"Frontal mucocele: A case report","author":"Almagribi","year":"2013","journal-title":"AAMJ"}],"container-title":["Asian Journal of Neurosurgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.4103\/1793-5482.180908.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,20]],"date-time":"2022-09-20T22:54:19Z","timestamp":1663714459000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.4103\/1793-5482.180908"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,12]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"04","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,20]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2017,12]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/1793-5482.180908","archive":["Portico","CLOCKSS"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1793-5482","2248-9614"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1793-5482","type":"print"},{"value":"2248-9614","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,12]]}}}
