Abstract

43year old male diagnosed as case of Maxillary sinus cancer that involved the orbit. CT scan of face revealed large ill defined extensively infiltrated soft tissue mass of 7*5*4.4 cm in maxillary sinus which extended to infratemporal fossa and erosion of floor of the right orbit with infiltration of right inferior rectus muscle. The prognosis of maxillary sinus cancer with involvement adjacent structures is not very good (usually diagnosed at an advanced stage), so to attain an improved result it was essential to secure adequate resection of margins. So we followed a standard treatment protocol that was total maxillectomy with orbital exenteration, followed by postoperative radiation therapy.
