Abstract
Th1 cytokines and the Th1 regulatory cytokine IL-12, but not IL-10, potentially play a key role in the pathogenesis of paranasal sinus mucoceles. Together with our recent report showing that lipopolysaccharide is highly detected in mucocele fluid, the data from this study suggest that the Th1 response induced by lipopolysaccharide may affect the immunological inflammation in the epithelium of paranasal sinus mucoceles.
