This case highlights a successful intraoral lower partial maxillectomy with free flap reconstruction performed on a patient diagnosed with a giant cell tumor of the maxilla. The surgery was led by Dr. Piyush Kumar Agrawal, Clinical Director and Head of Surgical Oncology at Marengo Asia Hospitals, Gurugram.
The patient, Munira, presented with a growth on the left maxillary floor and upper alveolus. Following extensive assessment at Marengo Asia Hospitals, it was determined that this was a giant cell tumor of the maxilla. Because of the complexity of the lesion and its location, the case was submitted to Dr. Agrawal and his team of qualified surgeons for comprehensive management. The procedure performed was intraoral lower partial maxillectomy.
General anesthesia was given to the patient for the procedure. The surgical team completed a lower partial maxillectomy with successful free flap reconstruction for filling in the defect left after the resection of the tumor.
