Squamous cell carcinoma, also known as squamous cell cancer, is the most common oral cavity cancer. Tobacco and alcohol are two of the most significant risk factors associated with this type of cancer development. This article presents a case report for a moderately differentiated invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the upper left maxilla patient, who underwent surgical management with partial left maxillectomy and temporary maxillary obturator placement. Diagnosis was made through histopathological studies. We describe the surgical approach aiming for its complete eradication (R0), function preservation and restoration, and patient reintegration into daily life while enabling adjuvant treatment.
