We report a case of right maxillary carcinoma with metastases to the cervical lymph nodes (T4N2cM0, Stage IV). A 76-year-old woman was administered preoperative chemoradiotherapy, followed by curative surgery. TS-1 (80 mg/day), CDDP (5 mg/m2/day) and concurrent radiation (total 40 Gy) induced a complete response. Grade 2 neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and stomatitis were observed. In the primary tumor and cervical metastatic lymph nodes, no viable carcinoma cells were detected and cancer nests were replaced with marked fibrous tissue.
