A case of adenosquamous carcinoma of the maxillary sinus is reported. A 70-year-old man with adenosquamous carcinoma in the maxillary sinus was treated with radiotherapy, chemotherapy and radical surgery. Adenosquamous carcinoma is very rare in the paranasal sinuses. The prognosis is extremetly poor, similar to that for undifferentiated carcinoma. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy evidently have little ability to cure this tumor. We believe that the treatment of adenosquamous carcinoma requires aggressive
and radical surgery.
