ABSTRACT
Background: squamous cell carcinomas of maxillary sinus are rare. It causes esthetic-functional compromise. Therefore, its early diagnosis will allow the patient better prognosis.Objective: to expose clinical aspects of squamous cell carcinoma in maxillary sinus.
Case report: a clinical case is reported from 64-year-old white male patient with swelling over the orbit-zygomatic area that progressed over 1 month. The paranasal sinus CAT scan showed a heterogenic image suggesting a left maxillary tumor. The histopathological diagnosis reported a well- differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be used in this case. The scope of showing this case is to provide some aspects that allow the early diagnosis of the aforementioned disease as well as to improve the patients’ prognosis.
Conclusions: the deep clinical examination in patients will allow a soon diagnosis of these pathologies that present a torpid evolution lacking pathognomonic signs mainly in first stages. It is of paramount importance the role of the Primary Health Service in the early detection of cancer, which constitutes one of the main causes of death in Cuba.
