[Problems of tongue neoplasms in the light of personal observations].

Due to unfavourable local and general conditions, the treatment of carcinoma of the tongue still yields unsatisfactory results. The authors ascertained that 101 patients with carcinoma of the tongue (68 males and 37 females), having an average age of 65.2 years, had been treated at their clinic within a period of 27 years (1948--1974). Only 21% of them survived five years. In this connexion, certain questions, which are essential in the authors' opinion, are discussed. Furthermore, the patients are subdivided with regard to different aspects.

[Topical treatment of maxillary sinusitis. Preliminary report].

The representation of fundamental ideas is followed by the description of a new instillation preparation for the local treatment of sinusitis. The sterile filling material contains chloramphenicol, sulphanilamide and prednisolone in an organic, absorbable carrier substance based on gelatin. The indication, the technique of application and the results obtained up to now are mentioned. An average of 2.4 instillations was sufficient to achieve healing in 78.5% of the patients. Spontaneous closure of a great perforation occurred in some cases. It is emphasized that the surgical intervention nevertheless remains an integral part of sinusitis therapy and that the results obtained up to now should be corroborated by a greater number of cases and additional investigations.

[An interesting case].

A rare observation on a 57-year-old female patient serves to emphasize that striking findings may also occur in the orofacial region. In the present case, the patient was afflicted with a tubular cystadenoma of the oral mucosa, extending from 22 to 24. In this connection, the authors briefly deal with the epidemiology, clinic and morphology of these tumours.

[Congenital melanotic tumors].

Congenital melanotic tumors are among the very rare tumors of early childhood. Their histogenesis and biological significance are still controversial today. The ideas of an odontogenic origin and of a neuroectodermal pathogenesis of these tumors range among the most frequently advocated hypotheses. Until about 1970 this type of tumor was almost always referred to as benign. Meanwhile there has been a change in the assessment of the character of congenital melanotic tumors. Above all, this is due to the fact that malignant cases have been repeatedly reported since 1970. Apart from an extensive review of the literature, 2 own cases are described which were treated surgically. The histological evaluation of the tumor material supports the assumption that these tumors are of odontogenic origin.
