Abstract :
Introduction: Spindle cell carcinoma (SpCC) is an unusual subtype of squamous cell carcinoma with an aggressive behavior. The

Case Presentation: This case report describes the diagnosis, management, and follow-up of a 35-year-old female, who presented
with Spindle cell carcinoma of maxillary sinus.
Conclusions: The behavior of maxillary sinus SpCC seems to be more aggressive than Spindle cell carcinoma of other sites and
shows a poor prognosis.
