Mandibular and para-mandibular tumors in children. Report of 16 cases.

Sixteen cases of mandibular tumors or paramandibular soft tissue tumors with mandibular involvement are reported. These include such rare mandibular tumors or tumor-like conditions as melanotic progonoma, intraosseous haematoma secondary to von Willebrand's disease, post-irradiation osteosarcoma, monostotic eosinophilic granuloma, aneurysmal bone cyst and osseous hemangiopericytoma. Three cases of cherubism, one of fibrous dysplasia or aggressive fibromatosis and one of central giant cell reparative granuloma are also reported. The soft tissue tumors comprise round cell sarcoma, parotid adeno-carcinoma with generalised metastases, embryonal rhabdo-myo-sarcoma, neuro-fibro-sarcoma and congenital cystic hygroma. In all the cases the disease was well advanced when the patient presented for X-ray examination. The specific X-ray diagnosis of mandibular and paramandibular tumors in childhood is more difficult than that of similar tumors in other parts of the body.

Neonatal death dwarfism. (A further report).

Seven cases of rare "Neonatal Death Dwarfism" observed recently in three major Children's Hospitals in Australia are reported. These include Diastrophic Dwarfism, Achondrogenesis II, Lethal Form of Hypophosphatasia, Homozygous Achondroplasia, Minor Form of Asphyxiating Thoracic Dystrophy, Achondrogenesis II (?) and Unclassified Lethal Bone Dysplasia. In all the patients the clinical diagnosis was uncertain or incorrect, whereas a conclusive radiographic diagnosis could be made after X-ray examination in all but one of the cases. Skeletal survey should be performed in each case of neonatal death dwarfism.

Asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy without respiratory disease: report of two cases of the latent form.

Two cases of the latent form of Asphyxiating Thoracic Dystrophy or Asphyxiating Thoracic Dystrophy without respiratory disease or respiratory problems are reported. The skeletal survey was diagnostic in both of them. In the first case it was performed after the pelvic film, ordered because of externally rotated thighs, showed triradiate acetabulum. In the second case the skeletal survey was requested because of undiagnosed mental retardation syndrome.
