    StageNo.Surgical procedure and follow-up results
    T4aN0M01Modified midfacial degloving operation; temporary interruption of the external carotid artery; extended maxillectomy; exenteration of the orbit; tumorectomy of the sphenomaxillary and infratemporal fossae; selected neck dissection. Still alive without recurrence or metastasis.
    T3N0M02Modified midfacial degloving operation; total maxillectomy. One patient underwent resection of the hard palate, and accepted another operation after 15 months because of a recurrence. One case died of intracranial metastasis 8 months after operation. The others are still alive without recurrence or metastasis.
