MAXILLARY TUMOR

This young lady came September, 2012 with a right maxillary tumor. We did a maxillectomy and the pathology showed pleomorphic sarcoma. I sent her for radiation but she never went! She came back with a massive growth in the mouth. She could barely breath and it was bleeding so we operated and performed a total maxillectomy. She did great!!! Naturally, she has some problems eating but solved them herself with a bulb syringe.
