Record of one case of chronic bilateral maxillary sinusitis operated following the classical procedure of Caldwell-Luc. The histopathological check up of the removed tissue showed a salivary gland ectopia. After perusal of the bibliography and not having find another similar case we are convinced of the exceptional of our instance. We comment about the steps comply to attain the diagnosis, the management and the postoperative course as well. We suggest for this entity the denominate "salivary cystic sinusitis" or "cystic glandular ectopia maxillaris".
