Abstract

Myofibrosarcoma is a distinct mesenchymal malignancy which commonly occurs in head and neck region. It has a high tendency for local recurrence and distant metastasis. 39-year-old male presented with epistaxis, nasal obstruction and left sided complete loss of vision. He underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery and guided biopsy. MRI scan showed a lesion epicentred in the left maxillary sinus, superiorly extending into the orbit. He underwent Class 4b maxillectomy with neck dissection, tracheostomy and free flap reconstruction. Histopathological examination yielded final diagnosis as myofibrosarcoma of maxilla. The patient was planned for adjuvant radiotherapy and has been disease free for 3 years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
