Second primary malignancies in head and neck region: Report on two cases

Incidence of second primary malignancies is on the rise, especially in head and neck region because of increased longevity of the patients and availability of better diagnostic tools. We illustrate two such cases along with their treatment modalities. One of the patients developed malignant fibrous histiocytoma of maxilla as second malignancy which in itself is a very rare malignancy with only six cases reported in the literature so far.
