ABSTRACT
The authors analyze the findings of carotid arteriography and X-ray computer-aided tomography in rare tumorous and pseudotumorous involvement of the blood and lymph systems of the neck, namely, in hemangiomas, lymphangiomas, angiofollicular lymphomas, angioleiomyoma, carotid artery aneurysm. Specific features of roentgenosemeiotics and problems of a differential diagnosis are discussed.

The paper discusses the results of treatment of 102 cases of locally-advanced malignant tumors of the head and neck. Myocutaneous flaps including m.m. platysma, sternocleidomastoideus, trapezius and pectoralis major were used to rectify primary postexcisional defects. Preoperative radiation treatment (30-100 Gy) was given to 92 patients. Primary reconstruction for defects of the head and neck failed to stimulate recurrence development or affect survival as compared to controls. Frequency of complications involved in the said method proved lower while stay at the hospital shorter as compared to other reconstructive procedures. The above method assured a shorter period of rehabilitation and thus saved funds.

The ability of receptor cytoplasmic proteins to bind estrogens and androgens was studied in 25 biopsies obtained from cases of squamous-cell carcinoma and leukoplakia of oral cavity mucosa. Androgen receptors were more frequently identified in cancer than in leukoplakia whereas the estrogen receptor situation was reverse.

Plasty of defects of head and neck by a flap with musculus pectoralis major is described. In 20 patients the substitution of the defects was fulfilled simultaneously with the main operation. In 12 patients it was performed within 2-12 months. The method described gives a valuable substitution of lack of the soft tissues resulting from oncological operations, gives good cosmetic results and shortens the period of staying at the hospital.
