Abstract:
A patient diagnosed with myoepithelial carcinoma was recently treated in our department. The neoplasm was huge, located in the left maxillofacial region, blocking both eyes, impeding feeding. About one month before admission, the tumor began to bleed frequently, about 100 ml each time, causing headache, dizziness, fatigue, and cold sweats. CT showed the maximum diameter of the tumor was about 23 cm, with uneven density, and maxillofacial bone destruction. MRI revealed internal bleeding and necrosis inside the tumor. After admission, blood routine test showed erythrocyte count 3.64 x 10(12)/L(↓), hemoglobin 106 g/L(↓), hematocrit 0.320 (↓), serum iron 6.2 μmol/L(↓). After surgery, the patient recovered smoothly.
