Description
Summary:Maxillary sinus carcinoma is a rare neoplasm, with incidence of 0.2 to 0.8% of all systemic malignancies. Patients are diagnosed in the advanced stage when there is orbital invasion with abnormal ocular signs and symptoms. The standard treatment of maxillary sinus carcinoma is en bloc radical maxillectomy along with orbital exenteration, followed by postoperative adjuvant therapy. Orbital exenteration is used when the malignancy extends to the orbit in case of squamous/basal cell carcinoma. The aim of the current review is to provide an insight into the management of advanced maxillary carcinoma with orbital involvement in a 42-year-old male.
