  • Title: The utility of a combined endoscopic and transoral resection of maxillary ameloblastoma.
    Author: Jain K, Hsu J, Goyal P.
    Journal: Int Forum Allergy Rhinol; 2013 Sep; 3(9):762-5. PubMed ID: 23520076.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: This report describes the role of endoscopic resection of maxillary ameloblastoma. CASE REPORT: A 43-year-old female presented with a maxillary ameloblastoma filling the left maxillary sinus and extending into the left nasal cavity and nasopharynx. The sinonasal portion of the tumor was resected endoscopically. A limited transoral resection was then performed to resect the involved teeth and surrounding margin allowing for primary closure without any tumor recurrence or oronasal fistulas on follow-up. CONCLUSION: Transnasal endoscopic surgery for odontogenic maxillary tumors is less invasive and can reduce the morbidity associated with traditional maxillectomy.
