ABSTRACT
If there is a lack of soft tissue in the face, no matter what the cause, the reconstruction should be performed using tissue from neighboring areas because tissue in the same aesthetic and functional area guarantees the best results. Two methods of dilation are described for such skin expansion explained by examples, and substantiated by statistics: (1) dilation with the aid of osteosynthesis plates; and (2) dilation with tissue expansion. To make an objective evaluation, only cases where considered that were finished 3 years ago.

In certain ares of the craniofacial skeleton the plate systems commonly used for rigid internal fixation seem to be over-dimensioned. The newly developed Micro System for internal fixation with extremely tiny plates and screws provides a firm three-dimensional fixation of segments with minimal interference with the overlying soft tissues. Fields of application are traumatology and craniofacial surgery in infants, fractures of the naso-ethmoidal region and the orbit, reconstruction of the skull, and the fixation of cartilage and bone grafts.

Face, mouth and jaws represent seldom localisations of metastatic lesions. 5-20% of these lesions are reported with localisation in the maxilla, whereas 90% are found in the mandibula. Metastatic tumours in the oral soft tissue are very rare. The most common primary tumour seems to be the renal cell carcinoma. Only histological examination can give a differentiation against benign tumours. The diagnostic and therapeutic management of a 46 years old woman with a metastatic intraoral lesion of a renal cell carcinoma is presented.
