[Locoregional treatment of carcinoma epidermoid of the maxillary sinus].

Squamous-cell carcinoma of the maxillary sinus is an infrequent neoplasm of poor prognosis. Symptoms are evident when the disease is in an advanced stage. Lymph-node metastases are relatively infrequent.

Midface soft tissue reconstruction with the facio-cervico-pectoral flap.

The reconstruction of large soft tissue defects in the orbital and maxillomalar region is a difficult task. A good functional and aesthetic result has to be achieved. The cervicopectoral rotation flap has many advantages; it is easy, rapid and safe to harvest, compatible with cervical dissection and radiotherapy.
