Maxillary sinus cancer is anatomically located adjacent to the orbit and the skull base. Local recurrence is by far the most common cause of treatment failure and the long-term survival rates is low. Local recurrence is usually happened within 2 years after initial treatment. Late recurrence is generally defined as a recurrence 5 years after initial treatment. But, late recurrence cases of maxillary sinus cancer is very rare, especially 10 years after treatment. We report a case of late recurrence on the previous skin graft site 16 years after the treatment of maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma in a 66-yr-old man. The patient was treated with surgical wide excision and skin graft. No recurrence was developed after one and a half year and we discussed the pathogenesis of this very late recurrent case.
