Abstract: Tumors of the maxillofacial region are diagnosed in 15% of all surgical pathologies of this area. A more accurate definition of the boundaries and prevalence of the tumor process allows us to obtain invaluable information about the stage of development of the maxillofacial tumor.A clinical case of surgical treatment of maxillary cancer with tumor spread to the orbit, retromaxillary space, skull base, soft tissues of the cheek is presented with the rationale for extended resection of the maxilla with exenteration of the orbit and soft tissues of the face with one-stage plastic surgery.The analyzed computed tomograms (CT) allowed us to trace the prevalence and boundaries of the tumor with a certain degree of reliability, justify the operability of the patient and make up the scope of the upcoming operation.Key words: maxillary cancer, extended resection of the maxilla, computed tomography, tumor prevalence.
