[Early radiologic signs of Burkitt's lymphoma].

This paper relates a case of Burkitt lymphoma, whose initial presentation was a deep-bite malformation, that accentuated within a month. Orthodontic consultation referred this 8 years old boy to hospital, where diagnosis was ascertained. The authors discuss radiographs that have been taken before and during the installation of the clinical symptomatology. They point out the main radiographic signs encountered with maxilla involvement in Burkitt lymphoma.

[Mandibular osteitis and tertiary syphilis].

The authors report the case of a 65 years old man, who suffered from an osteitis, involving the mandible. Within a few months, and despite of a well established treatment, sequestration occurred following a pathologic fracture. No specific germ was encountered after several laboratory examinations. The discovery of a primary syphilis forty years ago, confrontation of clinic and paraclinic data, suggested the actual osteitis could be a complication of tertiary syphilis. A specific treatment was started, and the situation improved progressively. After five months of treatment, mandibular reconstruction was decided. Diagnostic arguments are discussed, and the case is compared with those, not numerous, reported in the literature.

[Reconstruction of the loss of substance of the lower lip. The "running stairstep" technic].

Reconstruction of near the totality of the lower lip after oncological resection or traumatic amputation, is a very challenging problem. The "step technique", introduced by Johanson, allows a good repair of the amputated lip, regarding amplitude, colour and function. The design of the flaps is recalled; and the authors present two cases which demonstrate the good result obtained with this simple but reliable method.

[Mandibular condyle tumors (author's transl)].

The must frequently observed mandibular condyle tumors are benign in nature, followed by metastases; primary malignant tumors are very rarely encountered, following a review of the clinical and radiographic characteristics of all types of tumors that occur, three cases of condylar metastases are described. Treatment of primary tumors is exclusively surgical, that of secondary lesions being palliative because of the often poor prognosis related to the primary tumor.
