A large epidermoid carcinoma of the lower lip in an elderly patient was treated by excision followed by reconstruction by means of a double nasogenial flap. The postoperative course was complicated by necrosis and then rejection of the flap. Spontaneous healing assisted by local treatment produced a satisfactory functional as well as esthetic result.

Concerning five observations of cervico-facial actinomycosis in two hospital wards, the authors recall that this pathology, although rare, still exists. It appears as a chronic cellulitis, usually occurring among subjects lacking in dental hygiene. The authors insist on the necessity of asking for a bacteriological test by taking a sample of pus with a pipette to look for the responsible actinomyces. The cure consists in the extracting of the teeth concerned, the removal of the necrosed tissues, a drainage, and an antibiotic treatment based on high doses of Penicilline for about three months.
