[Oral form of fibrolipoma].

The pleomorphism of the tussies taking part in the formation of oral cavity is basis for the great majority of benign and malignant tumors. They often have similar clinical manifestations macroscopic view. Histological investigations help us for exact diagnosis and adequate treatment.

[Malignant tumors of the external ear].

A number of cases with carcinoma of the auricular concha, carcinoma, cilindroma and sarcoma of the external acoustic meatus are analyzed after a thorough literature survey. The opinion is set forth that insatisfactory results in the treatment of malignant tumours of the external ear should be attributed to the delay of undertaking effective therapeutical measures. Operative menagement with subsequent radiation therapy is recommended in X-ray sensitive neoplasms.

[Surgical procedures for the anatomical characteristics of the nasal valve. Anatomy, physiology, pathology, and pathophysiology. Possibilities for surgical treatment].

The authors consider the nasal valve as an atomic particularity of the nose and its physiology. The nasal valve is formed by the caudal edge of the lateral cartilage and the septal cartilage. Each mutation in it leads to dyspnoea.

[Operation on maxillary sinus using the osteoplastic graft].

The authors share their experience in the operation of the maxillary sinuses by using osteoplastic graft. This technique allows saving or reconstructing of the front sinus wall. It makes possible isolation of soft tissues from the upper maxilla and preventing infection and other complications.

[Behaviour of patients with inflammatory intracranial complications of otogenic origin].

The authors have the aim to discuss their experience in the field of treatment of otogenic intracranial complications results of inflammatory process. A short reference of the spread of this kind of pathology is made. The up-to-date methods for diagnostics, behaviour, conservative and surgery treatment of these patients are examined.

[Primary melanoma of the nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa].

The authors make short review on the one of most malignant neoplasms in human pathology--its incidence, ethiology, pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prognostic features. We present a clinical case from our practice--a melanoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses--a rare localization. Melanocarcinomas of the mucous membranes of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are almost uniformly fatal.

[The use of Diprivan as an anticonvulsant in the early postoperative period of an otogenic brain abscess].

This is a report on a female patient with otogenic cerebellar abscess and symptomatic generalized convulsions, irresponsive to conventional diazepam and phenobarbital therapy. Fractionated propofol administration yields good effect without noteworthy changes in respiration and circulation.

[Current surgery of the nasal septum].

Rhinoseptoplasty, septoplasty in particular, is among the most commonly used operations in otorhinolaryngology. So far, over a long period of time, a variety of operative procedures successful for their time have been developed. The present report deals with a total of 4700 patients, operated on over an 18-year period (1977 through 1994).
