Abstract
A forty-year old male with a primary complaint of stuffy nose and epistaxia of the right side was referred to our clinic because of a readily bleeding nasal mass and exophthalmus of the right side. A computed tomography revealed an extended tumor invasion originating from the right maxillary sinus and that extended to the epipharynx and mesopharynx. The case was refractory to PPM induction therapy, consecutive irrigation therapy of 5-Fluoro Uracil through the superficial temporal artery and irradiation therapy with 5000 cGy of 60Co. An extended total maxillectomy followed by laser vaporization of the middle cranial fossa has finally been successful in complete remission of this basal cell carcinoma for three years. This article refers to pathological classifications, etiology, treatment and prognosis of the tumor.
