J Craniomaxillofac Surg. 2006 Mar;34(2):107-12. doi: 10.1016/j.jcms.2005.08.009. Epub 2006 Jan 19.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present a case of an intraosseous mucocele that was detected 5 years after chin augmentation using a nasal osteocartilaginous graft. Although complications of this technique have been described as negligible, the surgeon must be aware of possible long-term side effects and should remove all nasal mucosa from the graft prior to implantation.
