Abstract
- Myxomas of the maxillary sinus are uncommon benign tumors arising from primitive mesenchyme. They are usually manifested by slow, painless bony expansion with resultant facial deformity. The standard treatment for myxoma is radical excision. Although incomplete primary removal of tumor may result in high recurrence rates, complete radical resection may result in a significant functional and aesthetic defect. Therefore, a radical resection of the tumor with maximal preservation of surrounding anatomic structure is necessary. We describes a case of maxillary myxoma in a 31 year old male who underwent piece-meal surgery following debridement with microdebriders via intranasal endoscopic approach and Caldwell-Luc's approach for maximal preservation of anatomical structure.
