Abstract
We report a case of maxillary cancer that caused a marked systemic inflammatory reaction including leukocytosis and high blood levels of C-reactive protein. The production of Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) by tumor cells was demonstrated by immunohistochemical staining. Despite the reported poor prognosis of G-CSF producing tumors, chemoradiotherapy was highly effective and all of the inflammatory indexes settled to within normal limits. The patient is under close follow-up and has been in complete remission for eleven months after the completion of chemoradiotherapy.
