Abstract

Introduction: Spindle cell carcinoma (SpCC) is an unusual subtype of squamous cell carcinoma with an aggressive behavior. The occurrence of this tumor in maxillary sinus has rarely been reported. Case Presentation: This case report describes the diagnosis, management, and follow-up of a 35-year-old female, who presented with Spindle cell carcinoma of maxillary sinus. Conclusions: The behavior of maxillary sinus SpCC seems to be more aggressive than Spindle cell carcinoma of other sites and shows a poor prognosis.
