Abstract :

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Maxillary swellings are uncommon and often associated with various disease entities. Multimodal approach of careful patient evaluation and integrated disease management are necessary to decrease the progression of the disease. This study was conducted to determine the clinicodemographic pattern, histopathological diagnosis and surgical outcome of swelling in the maxilla. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a hospital based retrospective observational study conducted in patients diagnosed with maxillary swelling who underwent surgical management . This study was done in Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital , Upgraded Institute of Oto Rhinolaryngology from September 2017 to September 2018. All the patients were followed up for a period of 2 to 12 months and observed for their overall survival rate and recurrence of the disease. RESULT: Among 16 patients included in our study , 4 patients were diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma (25%) which was the most common HPE diagnosis followed by odontogenic tumor in 3 patients (18.75%) and fiosseous dysplasia (18.75%) in 3 patients. The Recurrence rate in those patients diagnosed with either neoplastic or Nonneoplastic maxillary antral lesions who underwent surgical management were 12.5% (2 patients) , seen in squamous cell carcinoma and fiosseous dysplasia each one respectively. The overall survival rate for all the patients diagnosed with maxillary antral swelling was 100 % and disease free survival rate was 87.5% as two patients had recurrence of the disease. CONCLUSION: An intensive Investigation based surveillance after surgical management of maxillary swelling allowed early intervention in recurrence of the disease which in turn decrease the disease burden in a community.
