Different Approaches of Suspected Unilateral and Bilateral Maxillary Sinus Myxoma, Two Rare Cases Report

Abstract

Maxillary sinus myxoma is a rare benign tumor with locally aggressive behavior and can infiltrate surrounding structures. Surgical intervention is considered the primary procedure with several approaches for wider tumor exposure, complete tumor removal, and better wound healing. In this article, two cases of suspected unilateral and bilateral maxillary sinus myxoma were presented with different approaches applied for both cases. We managed two patients, a 37-year-old male with mass at right maxilla and a 60-year-old male with mass at both maxillae. Physical examination, radiology imaging, and pre-operative histopathology examination showed maxillary sinus myxoma. The total maxillectomy procedure with Weber Ferguson incision was performed for the 1st patient; meanwhile, the combined sub-labial degloving and left Weber Ferguson incision was performed for the 2nd patient.
