[A case of epidermal cyst of the maxilla (author's transl)].

In the light of one case of epidermal cyst of the maxilla, the authors emphasize the operative difficulties and the need, in the presence of a severe abnormality of the pedicles of the upper wisdom teeth, to perform a careful tomographic examination of the head.

Thyroid cancer following scalp irradiation.

A sixfole increase in the risk of thyroid cancer was observed among 10,902 persons irradiated for scalp tinea in childhood as compared to two matched control groups. The dosimetry studies demonstrated that the original mean dose given to the thyroid was less than 9 rads, yielding a risk of 6.3/10(6)/year. This carcinogenic effect of low-level radiation must be considered in the planning of safety measures against potential public health hazards.

[Initial results of a simple immunological study of E.N.T. carcinomas (author's transl)].

45 patients suffering from carcinomas of the upper airway and digestive tract were studied from an immunological standpoint, by estimation of serum immunoglobulins and by a series of skin tests. This latter technique gave the most interesting results. It showed that immunodepression is statistically more frequent in extensive forms and that the prognosis in immunodepressed patients is much more severe than in those who have retained normal immune reactions.
