The authors report a case of ameloblastoma occurring at the unusual age of 11 years. The surgical management is conservative. Complete and careful tumorectomy was performed without reconstruction. Complete spontaneous restitution was seen one year after the operation. No recurrence was seen and the patient may new be considered as cured, with a 6 year follow-up.
There is a physiological necessity for the existence of lymphaticovenous communications in points other than the terminal entry of the lymphatic trunks into the superior caval system. These communications are frequently seen, as well in clinical practice as in experimentation, when there is an obstacle to the downstream lymphatic flow, but their exact nature cannot be determined. We have been able to demonstrate on the rat that such communications are established within the lymph nodes. We shall discuss the physiological importance of our findings together with a review of the literature and consider their clinical and therapeutic consequences.
The parotid fascia is not the superficial layer of the investing layer of the cervical fascia. The dissection of 21 cadavers, the histological studies and the compared anatomy of 3 apes show that the parotid gland lies between the platysma muscle on the lateral side and the superficial layer of the cervical fascia on the medial side. The upper part of the platysma, large muscle in apes, has regressed as a fibrosis layer in man.
