P.N.S and Neck to know the lesion's extent and Ultrasonography of Abdomen and Pelvis to rule out any metastatic deposits. Patient was managed by left lower partial maxillectomy with left radical neck dissection. No intra-operative or post-operative complications seen. Patient was then sent for chemoradiotherapy.
