  Etiology
  after rhinoplasty Ectopic free mucosal graft implantation during surgical treatment, herniation of mucosa through intranasal incisions, or improper clearing of mucous epithelial remnants and bony or cartilage parts during the operation are the most accepted theories for the formation of mucous cysts after rhinoplasty.Paywall references

  Masses of the Nose, Nasal Cavity; sinonasal tumors
  Definition: A wide range of masses develop in the nose, nasal cavity, and nasopharynx in children. These lesions may arise from the nasal ala or other structures of the nose, including the mucosa covering any surface of the nasal cavity, the cartilaginous or osseous portion of the nasal septum, the nasal turbinates, and the nasal bones.
  Lesions may also arise from the nasopharynx or adjacent structures and involve the nose by way of (...)

  Paranasal sinuses retention cysts; Mucous retention cysts of the paranasal sinuse
  Definition : The paranasal sinuses are air-filled cavities covered by a thin mucous membrane that adhere to the periosteum. Retention cysts in paranasal sinuses are common, incidental finding at radiographic examinations and are reported to occur in between 1.4% to 9.6% of the general population.

  Definition : Salzmann’s nodular degeneration SND is a slowly progressive condition in which gray-white to bluish nodules measuring 1-3 mm are seen anterior to Bowman’s layer of the cornea, usually bilaterally.
  These elevated nodules can be located near the limbus or in the mid-peripheral cornea.
  Microscopy
  Light microscopy (figure 1) reveals dense deposits of hyalinized, irregularly arranged collagen fibers anterior to a fragmented and sometimes absent Bowman’s layer.

  Definition : Calcinosis cutis is a type of calcinosis wherein calcium deposits form in the skin. A variety of factors can result in this condition. The most common source is dystrophic calcification, which occurs in soft tissue as a response to injury.
  In addition, calcinosis is seen in Limited Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis, also known as CREST syndrome (the "C" in CREST) or in dermatomyositis.
