Unspecified Surgical Procedure, By Report

Last week we removed a mucous retention cyst from the right maxillary sinus of a 50yo male. We went in through the lateral wall and sucked the cyst, which was a liquid, up into a 3mL syringe and expelled it into a glass dappen dish. By the end of the procedure, it had "jellied" and was quite jiggly, a weird mix of solid/liquid. It took the shape of the dish and was about 17mm in diameter and bright orange.

I was super excited about this procedure and had been looking forward to it since I saw the CT last month. Then today, my afternoon patient shot himself in his own eye...TWICE...with his own arterial bleeding. I nearly died!!!!
