Liposarcoma: report of a case and review of the literature.
Liposarcoma of the head and neck region is extremely rare. An additional case of pleomorphic liposarcoma of the buccal mucosa is reported, representing an even rarer combination. The importance of combined radiation and radical surgical therapy as a means of improving survival is emphasized.

Peripheral giant cell granuloma. Clinicopathologic study of 224 new cases and review of 956 reported cases.
The clinical and histopathological features of 224 new cases of peripheral giant cell granuloma were studied. In addition, the data from 956 previously reported cases in the literature were evaluated and compared with the present series. Females were found to be more commonly affected than males. All age groups were found to be affected with a relative predilection from 40 to 60 years of age. The mandible was more often affected than the maxilla. Clinically, the lesions were red in color, had a smooth surface and were rubbery or with a soft consistency. The most characteristic histologic features included a non-encapsulated highly cellular mass with abundant giant cells, inflammation, interstitial hemorrhage, hemosiderin deposits, mature bone or osteoid.

Interface between titanium 6,4 alloy implants and bone.
This paper presents the results of animal studies on the interface between 6 aluminum, 4 vanadium, titanium alloy and bone. 7 New Zealand white rabbits were anaesthetised and a new design of threaded implant inserted into the tibial metaphysis of each leg. 3 further animals had fine lathe turnings inserted in the same site. The animals were sacrificed 7 weeks later and the implants removed together with the surrounding bone. After suitable processing of the specimens, they were subjected to scanning and transmission electron microscope studies. Compact bone was found in close proximity to the surface of the metal. With higher magnifications, the bone was found to be in intimate contact with the metal. There was no suggestion of the presence of cells or uncalcified collagen fibres between the bone and the implant. At the highest magnification, there was the appearance of a homogenous transition from the bone to the metal, suggesting a biological adhesion.

Oral submucous fibrosis.
2 cases of oral submucous fibrosis have been reported. In each case, the diagnosis was confirmed histologically, and the treatment instituted was identical. Excision of buccal fibrotic bands was carried out, with subsequent placement of skin grafts. The patients were followed postoperatively to monitor results and particularly, to screen for malignant changes. The literature concerning oral submucous fibrosis is reviewed.
