[Cancer of the maxillary sinus. Apropos of 52 cases].
The authors report about a retrospective study on 52 cases of malignant tumors of the maxillary sinus gathered from January 1, 1977 to December 31, 1985 in the Department of Cervicofacial and ENT Carcinological Surgery of the Salah Azaïz Institut in Tunis. Epidermoid carcinomas dominate, but the histological types encountered are quite various; the tumors are very advanced on the first consultation in most cases. Computed tomography was a great help to assess extension prior to treatment and during follow-up. The evolution involved frequent recurrence and a great number of deaths during the first year.
