Carcinoma of the hard palate in women who practice reverse smoking is very common in Visakhapatnam. This carcinoma usually occurs in the middle of the posterior half of the hard palate and not in the soft palate or in the anterior half of hard palate. The volume of the glandular tissue in the mucosa of the hard palate is maximum to the right or left half of the midline in the posterior half in both fetuses and adults. The localization of the carcinoma of the hard palate in reverse smokers corresponds to the glandular area of the mucosa of the hard palate.
A case of malignant melanoma of the oral cavity is presented. The very high frequency of squamous cell carcinoma of the palate in Visakhapatnam, India, is compared to the rarity of malignant melanoma, even though pigmentation of the oral cavity is quite common in this geographical region.

Malignant melanoma is rather uncommon in India. Pigmented moles are also less common than among Caucasians. The fewer number of moles probably is one factor responsible for the relative rarity of malignant melanomas in this area.

Reverse smoking of chuttas seems to have no significance for the development of cancer of the hypopharynx, esophagus, larynx and nasopharynx. The conventional chutta smoker runs a slight risk of developing hypopharyngeal cancer. Other smoking and chewing habits do not seem to play any role in our area as these habits are very uncommon.
Isopathic phenomenon of SAGHER was elicited in 21 proved leprosy patients (consisting of 7 lepromatous, 7 tuberculoid, 3 neuritic, 2 borderline, and 2 indeterminate types). The substances used to elicit the isopathic phenomenon were BCG lepromin, Indian ink and staphylococcal vaccine. Isopathic phenomenon was elicited in most of the cases and BCG was the substance which produced the most responses. The phenomenon could be used to classify difficult cases of leprosy.
