Maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma during pregnancy: a new case report
Abstract
Less than one percent of malignant lesions are malignant tumors of the paranasal sinuses. The majority of maxillary sinus carcinomas are squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). There are few reports of head and neck SCC found during pregnancy; however, in this article, a 23-year-old woman in the fourth month of pregnancy was diagnosed with a maxillary sinus SCC. The histopathologic evaluation of the lesion showed a malignant proliferation of squamous cells with a sheath and cord formation that invaded the surrounding tissue. These findings were compatible with SCC. Hemimaxillectomy, neck dissection, and chemoradiotherapy were conducted; however, despite these therapeutic interventions, the patient died 11 months after the initial visit due to distant metastasis.
