A Rare Case of Myoepithelial Carcinoma of the Maxillary Sinus
Abstract
Abstract Myoepithelial neoplasms are uncommon tumours usually arising within the major and minor salivary glands. They account for only 1% of primary salivary gland tumours, and approximately 10% of these are malignant. We report on a case of this tumour arising in the maxillary sinus, which was managed by staged resection followed by adjuvant chemoradiation.
