Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Mucous retention cyst in left paracentral nasopharyngeal region is generally due to chronic sinusitis.
Due to chronic inflammation,mucus lining becomes thick and it may lead to formation of retention cyst.
Your report doesn't mention about the status of other sinuses like maxillary,frontal and ethmoid sinus.
Patient require treatment for sinusitis.Nasal steroids,decongestants and antihistaminics should be prescribed.Patient should also avoid allergens.
Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
