[True malignant mixed tumor of the parotid gland (carcinosarcoma)]. / A parotis valódi malignus vegyes tumora (carcinosarcoma).

True malignant mixed tumor (carcinosarcoma) is a rare salivary gland tumor. In contrast to malignant mixed tumor, which means carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma in true malignant mixed tumor both carcinomatous and sarcomatous features are present in the same tumor. This report presents the case of a 43 year old man with a carcinosarcoma of the right parotid gland. Carcinomatous component was high grade ductal carcinoma. Mesenchymal component showed the features of giant cell type malignant fibrous histiocytoma. The diagnosis was supported by positive staining for cytokeratin in the carcinomatous part and positive vimentin, alpha-1-antitrypsin and CD 68 staining in the sarcomatous part of the tumor. Ultrastructural investigation confirmed the diagnosis. Multinucleated osteoclast type giant cells are probably of reactive origin.

[Maxillary hypoplasia, associated with prognathism, and its surgical management]. / A progeniához társult maxillahypoplasia és annak mütéti kezelése.

The author has proved by the examination of the lateral x-ray images of hundred patients with progenia that with 64% of the patients the front part of the maxilla alveolaris extension was mildly retarded in growth. The deviation can be measured by means of the Sella-Nasion-A angles used in the evaluation of the x-ray image. Such anomaly can be ceased by a simple autotransplantation suggested by the author, simultaneously with the surgical correction of the progenia. Hereby the aesthetic effect will be improved, more pleasant harmonic features can be formed.

[Prognosis in the surgical correction of progenia and prognathism]. / Mütéti prognosztika a progenia és a prognathia sebészeti kezelésében.

The soft tissue profile changes entailed by the operation were examined on teleroentgen image taken before and after operation in case of fifty patients with progenia and prognatism.

The operational prognostics based on observations is shown on the photographical and x-ray documentation of one of the author's patients.
