%X Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) is a soft tissue sarcoma that commonly occurs in late adult life. It is mainly located in the subcutaneous soft tissues of extremities characterized by a high recurrence rate at the original site. MFS of the head and neck is rare, while it occurrence in the maxilla is extremely rare. We report an atypical case of MFS of the maxilla in a 29-year-old male. The tumour was resected with adequate margin and following which post-operative adjuvant radiotherapy was given. This patient has been followed for 2 years to date and has remained disease free. The rarity, the aggressive nature of the pathology, the extent of the tumour and the complex neurovascular structures in close proximity to the site often lead to adverse outcomes. We will be discussing a rare case of a rapidly growing high grade maxillary sinus MFS in a young patient with a history of radiation exposure which posed as a diagnostic challenge. Our case may provide additional diagnostic and treatment experience with regards to managing maxillary sinus myxofibrosarcoma.
