Cases of turbinate mucocele or pyogenic mucocele are extremely rare. During nasal endoscopy, turbinate hypertrophy can be detected in patients with turbinate or pyogenic mucocele. However, in many instances, differentiating between turbinate hypertrophy and turbinate mucocele is difficult. Radiological examinations, such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are essential for the accurate diagnosis of turbinate mucocele. Herein, we report three cases of mucocele or pyogenic mucocele of turbinate, including their clinical presentation, imaging findings, and treatments, to help rhinologists understand this condition better.
