Abstract
|
|
|
|
The maxillary sinus remains the most common site of paranasal sinus malignancies, followed by the nasal cavity and ethmoid sinus. Definitive treatment of maxillary sinus malignances is complex and typically requires multidisciplinary expertise. Management usually entails maxillectomy followed by reconstruction. However, maxillectomy is an uncommon operation and as a result the experience of a single unit is small, and the evidence is limited regarding the most appropriate method of managing patients. We describe a case of a 68-year-old woman with a squamous cell carcinoma of the maxillary sinus, treated with class IVd maxillectomy and reconstruction with latissimus dorsi muscle free flap.
