Abstract

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a type of cancer that originates in the salivary glands, and while it’s most commonly found in the parotid gland, it can also occur in the maxillary sinus. This is a very rare location for the cancer, but it can present significant challenges. Our patient was admitted to the hospital presenting with nonspecific symptoms such as nasal obstruction and nasal bleeding. Following a histopathological and immunohistochemical examination of the biopsy, the diagnosis of was diagnosed as “mucoepidermoid carcinoma.” Postoperative radiotherapy was administered due to the incomplete removal of the mass caused by its anatomical location. The tumor recurred in the patient after a two-year period. In this article, we present a case of recurrent mucoepidermoid carcinoma in the maxillary sinus.

Özet

Mukoepidermoid karsinom, tükürük bezlerinde ortaya çıkan bir kanser türüdür ve en sık parotis bezinde bulunmasına rağmen maksiller sinüste de görülebilir. Bu kanser için çok nadir bir yerleşim yeridir, ancak önemli zorluklara yol açabilir. Hastamız burun tıkanıklığı ve burun kanaması gibi nonspesifik semptomlarla hastaneye kaldırıldı. Biyopsinin histopatolojik ve immüno- histokimyasal incelemesi sonrasında tanı “mukoepidermoid karsinom” olarak konuldu. Kitle anatomik konumundan dolayı tam olarak çıkarılamadığı için ameliyat sonrası radyoterapi uygulandı. Tümör iki yıllık bir süreden sonra hastada tekrarladı. Bu yazıda maksiller sinüste tekrarlayan mukoepidermoid karsinom vakasını sunuyoruz.
