[Cysts of the parotid gland. Apropos of 4 cases].

The authors report 4 cases of parotid cyst seen in the department of maxillo-facial surgery (Pr Crépy): -one cystic lymphangioma, -one dermoid cyst, -two lympho-epithelial cysts. They stress the hazards of needle puncture and the essential value of exploratory parotidectomy.

[Pseudosarcomatous fusiform cell epithelioma of the oral cavity. Apropos of 5 cases].

Pseudo-sarcomatous spindle cell carcinomas are a variety of squamous carcinoma which must be recognized since they may raise the difficult problem of histological identification. They may be confused with a sarcomatous tumour, in particular fibroblastic. Buccal involvement, somewhat rarer than other sites in the upper respiratory and digestive tract, is nevertheless not exceptional. Clinically the lesion may be either a relative superficial polypoid mass, where the prognosis is relatively favourable, or a highly infiltrating lesion, which applied in the five cases reported here and which then has a rapid course and bad prognosis.

[Lesion of the parotid, still known as Godwin's syndrome. A case report (author's transl)].

Parotidectomy with conservation of the facial nerve, followed by radiotherapy to lymph glands, was employed to treat a benign lympho-epithelial lesion in the parotid. Clinical characteristics, therapy, and prognosis of this rare affection are described though diagnosis is difficult, the presence of such a lesion should be considered in all cases of parotid tumours.

[Buccal lupus lesions (author's transl)].

Lupus is a particularly polymorphic disease involving all medical disciplines and inciting the publication of an increasing number of papers. The two clinical types of lupus (acute disseminated lupus erythematosus and chronic lupus) have, until recently, led to doubts as to the unified nature of the disease. Grouping the symptoms and the results of their investigation in a computer has shown that there are 14 elements which occur most frequently, though there is no absolute pathognomonic sign of the disease. Oropharyngeal ulcerations, without being typical, are on of the fundamental signs and were found in 10% of cases of chronic lupus. The Gougerot-Sjögren syndrome is sometimes found, but it is not one of the fundamental signs : its existence, however, has enabled progress to be made during research into the auto-immune physiopathology of lupus disease.
