Primary closure of excisional defects of the breast with local flaps: a problem in the treatment of advanced carcinoma of the breast in developing countries.
Large, advanced, fungating breast tumours are a special problem in developing countries. The surgical treatment is often confined to rescue and relief and primary closure of the excisional defect is highly desirable. Split-skin grafts are often unsatisfactory for many reasons. Full thickness local flaps, cut as thickly as possible, give the best results and the "sheet anchor" in skin cover is the medially based deltopectoral flap. Myocutaneous flaps can be useful in treating low inner quadrant growths and lesions which leave no room for a deltopectoral flap.

Tongue-flaps--turntable and a two-stage forked flap in primary reconstruction after excision of oral carcinomas.
The tongue provides adequate material for lining in repair after excisional surgery for oral carcinoma, involving primarily the cheek and the floor of the mouth. Two flaps are described that utilize about one-third of the tongue. One of the flaps is based on a turntable principle and is attached only at its base to the mucosa. The other is a two-stage procedure, in which the tongue is forked at the time of admission when the patient is being prepared. The smaller prong on the same side is opened on the external aspect like an oyster shell. This procedure has the advantage of needing no twisting of the flap to bridge the defect.
Preputial stenosis--its site and correction.
A simple technique is described to correct preputial stenosis, based on the underlying anatomy of the lesion. The resulting prepuce is absolutely normal in appearance and function.
Non-chromaffin, non-functioning retroperitoneal paragangliomas: a report of three additional cases with a review of the literature.
A review of the literature has revealed only 24 cases of retroperitoneal non-functional paraganglioma recorded up to the present date. This report presents three additional cases, in two of which metastasis had occurred at the time of surgery. The clinical presentation and the biological behaviour of these tumours are reviewed in detail, as also are recommendations regarding therapy.
Epidermal cysts - a clinicopathological and biochemical study.
The findings of a clinicopathological and biochemical study of epidermal cysts and a review of the relevant literature are presented. A punctum was found in 40% of 34 epidermal cysts that were studied in detail. The findings of the histological study were in favour of the punctum being the orifice of an obstructed hair follicle from which at least a proportion of the epidermal cysts are likely to develop. The biochemical analysis of the contents of the cysts revealed a very low protein and lipid content, thus ruling out any "sebaceous' contribution. Bacteriological study of clinically inflamed cysts showed that inflammation in these lesions was usually aseptic unless there was a communication between the cyst cavity and the exterior.
