[Reconstruction of the oral cavity with myocutaneous flaps and the laterocervical hinge approach].

The AA. tell their experience about the myocutaneous flaps purposely carved for the reconstructive stage of surgical intervents forecasting big body-stuff loss, as the oral floor exeresis, of the tongue, of larynx, of mandible contemporaneously with latero-cervical dissection. The method we purpose is very simple and valid as it has never given some problem about the flourishing and vitality of the flaps. We tell about very large flaps we carve by the all thickness simple vertical and median section of the inferior lip and of inferior part of neck. These flaps are holded in right and left latero cervical side for all the length going from clavicle to mastoid. The vascularization has ever been excellent for the large surface of the hinge and of course for the large nourishing hematic bed. Consequently we purpose the myocutaneous flaps holded in latero-cervical side as useful and no-replaceable in the chirurgichal reconstruction of "Supercommando".

[Malignant retroperitoneal teratoma].

The writers point out a case of malignant teratoma of retro-peritoneal origin and lateral-cervical metastasis. Preliminary tests had shown a mass of a big orange, size of cystic appearance on the scan, clearly defined by TAC, as an oval shape, of cystic appearance, with semiliquid contents, strictly connected with the left-hand side of the thyroid gland and the big vessels of the neck and the fossa over the collar bone plane which pressed on the trachea and put it out of its original position. The needle suction cytologic test, had diagnosed a carcinoma slightly differentiated. After the difficult surgical dissection because of the proximity of the mass to the thyroid gland the trachea and the large vessels, and especially because of the sizable dislocation in mediastinum up to the level of the pleural cupola, the mass was diagnosed after surgery and histological tests as a branchial carcinoma. After a short while, the onset of an abdominal mass, followed soon after by the patient's death, allowed us to look at the case again and to conclude that it was an extra-peritoneal malignant teratoma with a lateral-cervical metastasis.
