“…As mentioned in this clinical report, the presence of masses in the posterior area of the hard palate, as well as radiolucent images around a maxillary molar, imply the need of establishing differential diagnosis between a periodontal or odontogenic infection, benign or malign neoplasm of the salivary glands, or a soft tissue tumour [9]. On occasions, deep visceral pain, such as the perceived in the sinusal mucosa, may trigger central sensitization able to produce secondary hyperalgesia, referred pain and alterations in the autonomous nervous system.…”

The present article describes the evolution of a squamous cell carcinoma of the maxillary sinus that produced as its first clinical appearance intraoral signs and symptoms. The patient had visited her primary dentist due to advanced mobility of the upper left second molar. Following its extraction, the signs and symptoms of a malignant lesion appeared. A review of the literature is presented following this case. The objective of this article is to describe the intraoral signs and symptoms of squamous cell carcinomas of the maxillary sinus, for their early diagnosis and treatment to improve their prognosis.

“…The presence of renal cell carcinomas must be discarded by CT and immune-staining, as they are the most common type of metastasis of sinus carcinomas [9]. The prognosis of these tumours is dependent on the age of the patient, the stage of the lesion at diagnosis, its histology, and location, where tumours affecting the sphenoid sinus are those associated with a significantly lower probability of mortality within 5 years of diagnosis compared to the frontal or maxillary sinus [4].…”

“…Described as a rare malignant tumor of the accessory salivary glands, more so in the palatine bone; the diagnosis of mucoepidermoid carcinoma (CME) remains difficult to evoke due to the uncommonness of the clinical signs and the insidious evolution, its etiopathogenesis is not well developed, but the treatment stand to be essentially surgical, associated or not with postoperative irradiation. 1 Its management requires several contributors, in particular surgeons, pathologists and oncologists. The aim of this article was to describe clinical, para-clinical, histological aspects of a rare case of CME of the palate, in a young patient, as well as the therapeutic approach in the light of the literature.…”

<p class="abstract">The salivary glands home of several tumoral pathologies, diversified by their locations and their histological types. Described as a rare malignant tumor of the accessory salivary glands, more so in the palatine bone; the diagnosis of Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (CME) remains difficult to evoke due to the uncommonness of the clinical signs and the insidious evolution. The purpose of this case report is to discuss the clinical manifestation, diagnosis, treatment and the follow-up plan of this case. A 39-year-old patient, with no prior pathological history, presents with a painless swelling on the palate evolving for 4 years causing swallowing difficulties without any other signs, several clinical, radiographic and histopathological investigations were carried out for excision of the lesion. Biopsy of the lesion confirmed the diagnosis as mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the palate, following which wide surgical excision with adjacent free margins was performed, the additional surgical treatment consisted of bilateral functional lymph node dissection of groups I, II and III. The follow-up of the patient shows a good improvement in the local condition in the 18 months, after 36 radiotherapy sessions and without signs of recurrence. On the control CT scan with placement of an obturator palatal prosthesis to improve the quality of life awaiting a palatal flap. This case report highlights the need for diagnosis and of an appropriate treatment plan in cases of malignant tumors, as this can lead to morbidity and mortality.</p>
