Malignant myoepithelioma of the head and neck usually arises in the salivary glands. We experienced a rare case with malignant myoepithelioma in the maxillary sinus. A 47-year-old woman with malignant myoepithelioma in the maxillary sinus underwent partial maxillectomy. However, local recurrence occurred 28 months after surgery and she was subsequently treated with radiation therapy with proton beams. The recurrent tumor showed complete response and the patient was alive with no evidence of disease 30 months after irradiation. No therapy-related severe toxicities were observed. A rare case with malignant myoepithelioma in the maxillary sinus was successfully treated with radiation therapy.
头颈部恶性肌上皮瘤通常发生于唾液腺。我们遇到了一例罕见的上颌窦恶性肌上皮瘤病例。一名患有上颌窦恶性肌上皮瘤的47岁女性接受了部分上颌骨切除术。然而,术后28个月出现局部复发,随后她接受了质子束放射治疗。复发性肿瘤显示完全缓解,放疗30个月后患者存活且无疾病证据。未观察到与治疗相关的严重毒性反应。一例罕见的上颌窦恶性肌上皮瘤病例通过放射治疗成功治愈。
