Maxillary carcinosarcoma: A case report and review of the literature

Abstract

We report on a patient who presented with pain and swelling to the left maxillary region of the face. A biopsy of the area was performed and subsequently diagnosed as maxillary carcinosarcoma (CCS). After reviewing the pathology results and the size of the tumor, it was decided that a radical dissection, followed by radiation therapy was the best option.
