Proper diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing such cases. Case: A 22-year-old female patient presented to our clinic with complaints of pain in the right maxilla and facial swelling. She had no systemic diseases, medication use, or pregnancy history. She reported undergoing cyst removal from the right posterior maxilla six years ago. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) revealed an extensive radiolucent lesion extending from the distal aspect of tooth 13 posteriorly beyond the tuberosity, superiorly involving the maxillary sinus and reaching the orbital floor.The patient was informed about the risks of the procedure and the necessity of extracting multiple teeth. After careful consideration, she returned to schedule the surgery. Under local anesthesia, teeth 14, 15, 16, and 17 were extracted, and the lesion was completely enucleated. The patient was discharged with postoperative care instructions. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of thorough radiological evaluation and timely surgical intervention in managing large maxillary lesions. Further histopathological analysis is required to confirm the diagnosis and guide long-term follow-up. Keywords: female, maxillary sinus, odontogenic cysts
