Abstract
Resections of tumors involving the passages of the nose and paranasal sinuses present the ultimate challenge in surgical pathology dissection. These passages are walled by bony structures that defy efforts to section, expose, and sample. Moreover, the three-dimensional anatomy of these regions is inherently complex and difficult to reconstruct once the specimen has been removed from the patient. Nowhere are these difficulties more significantly encountered than during resection of the maxilla.
