Temporomandibular arthropathies: A retrospective study with histopathological characteristics.

Background: To investigate the incidence of temporomandibular arthropathies diagnosed in a university center and to describe their histopathological characteristics.

Material And Methods: Temporomandibular arthropathy cases with corresponding slides were selected from an oral and maxillofacial surgical pathology service. Cases of exclusively articular disc disease were not included.

[Retrospective multicenter study on carcinomas of the lips and oral cavity. The role of multiple malignancies].

In a retrospective multicenter study the role of multiple cancer has been assessed in 2481 patients with carcinomas of the lips and oral cavity. In 3.2% of the cases the malignancies developed outside the maxillofacial area.

[Multicentric retrospective study on the carcinoma of lips and oral mucosa. Analysis of coherence between pre- and posttherapeutical categories of classification].

The coherence between prae- and posttherapeutical TNM findings had been checked up in a multicentrically registered patient material of 2,481 non-praetreated plate epithelium carcinomas of the lips and oral mucosa. Whereas the extension of the tumour has in the main been the same, the findings on lymph nodes had a trend showing essential deviations. In a two-dimensional examination of 851 histologically prepared preparations of lymph nodes, a prognostic relevance acc.

[Initial results of high-dose-rate afterloading treatment of tumors in the head and neck region].

First results of high-dose-rate afterloading therapy in the head-neck area are encouraging. The procedure is not very invasive and is suitable especially for older patients, not tolerating much, who can be hardly submitted another therapeutic method. The limited spatial dose distribution allows a careful treatment of the surrounding tissue in spite of the application of high single doses, however limits the size of tumors too, that the afterloading therapy is possible in (max.
