구강과 구인두에서 발생되는 유표피암은 전체 예수병원 암환자의 3.9%를 차지한다. 만 20 년 간의 월발성 유표피암 환자 5%명에 대한 고찰결과, 혀 전방 2/3 에서 29%로써 가장 높은 발생빈도를 보였으며 faucial arch, base of tongue 및 tonsil을 포함한 구 인두는 28%의 발생빈도를 나타냈다. 그외는 잇몸, 구강저, 구순, 구개 (palate) 및 구강내 점막의 빈도순이었다. 환자 중 153 명 만이 근치적 치료를 받았다. 1974 년 이전에는 치료 정책에 수술만이 활용되었던 까닭으로 역행성 분석결과 74 명에서는 수술만 시행케 되었으나, 그 이후의 70 명에서는 종합적치료를 시행하였으며 그중 9 명은 확실한 방사선요법을 받았다. COMMANDO 수술과 복합절제술 (Composite resection) 을 시행했던 환자들의 비교검토는 매우 의의가 있었다. 수술만 받은 환자와 비교해 볼때, 수술후 방사선요법을 병행했던 수술환자의 경우에 있어서 재발율은, Stage III 에서는 50%에서 41%로, Stage IV 는 79%에서 68%로 각각 감소를 보였다. 또한, COMMANDO 수술 경우만 국한시켜 비교할 때는 수술만 받은 환자와 비교할 때 수술후 방사선치료를 받은 환자와 비교하여 2 년간 무병율 (disease free interval) 이 수술후 방사선요법을 병행함으로써 17.3%에서 29.3%로 증가됨을 알 수 있었다.

The authors reviewed 114 cases of malignant major and minor salivary gland tumors at Presbyterian Medical Center seen from February, 1963 to December, 1983. The results were obtained as follows; 1) Overall male and female sex ratio was 2:1. The peak age of patients with major and minor salivary gland tumor were both 5 th decade. 2) The ratio of benign and malignant tumor was 83:114. The incidence of malignancy in each group was 52% in parotid (50 patients), 75% in minor salivary gland (45 patients), 49% in submaxillary gland(18 patients) and 25% in sublingual gland (1 patient). 3) The incidence according to the anatomic primary site for minor salivary cancers was 10 cases in the nasal cavity, each 8 in the palate and the maxillary antrum, 7 in the tongue, 5 in the gum, 3 in the larynx and 2 in the buccal mucosa. 4) Adenoid cystic carcinoma was the most common cancer of minor salivary gland and malignant mixed tumor was the most common in major salivary glands, each comprising 34 cases (76%) of minor and 19 cases (28%) of major salivary gland tumors. 5) The incidence of cervical lymph node metastasis was 50% in the submaxillary gland cancers, 44% in the parotid gland cancers and 21% in malignant tumors of minor salivary glands. The highest incidence of lymph node metastasis according to histopathological classification was formed in high grade of mucoepidermoid (67%). 6) Nerve invasion was common in mucoepidermoid carcinoma. According to anatomic site, nerve invasion occurred most often in adenoid cystic carcinoma of the submaxillary gland (44%). 7) The lung was the commonest site for distant metastasis comprising 12 cases among 26 cases in which distant spread occurred. 8) The recurrence rate was 50% for major salivary gland cancer and 52% in cancer of the minor salivary gland. In accordance with pathological classification, adenocarcinoma most frequently recurred after excision. This being seen in 88% of patients undergoing definitive therapy. 9) The determinate 5 year survival rate was 78% in major salivary gland tumors, but 69% in minor salivary gland tumors.

The surgical treatment of advanced carcinomas and some benign tumors having clinically malignant behaviors of the head and neck region often require extensive resection, necessitating large flaps for reconstruction. Since the original upper arm flap was described by Tagliacozzi in 1597, a variety of technique such as random pattern local flap, axial flap, distant flap, scalping flap, myocutaneous flap, free flap etc. have been proposed for reconstruction of head, face and neck defects. Reconstruction of the facial defects usually require the use of distant tissue. Traditionally, nasal reconstruction has been carried out with a variety of forehead flaps. In recent years, there has been more acceptance of immediate repairs following the removal of these tumors. As a result, patients are more willing to undergo these extensive resections to improve their chances of cure, with the reasonable expectation that an immediate reconstruction will provide an adequate cosmetic result. Authors experienced 13 cases of head and neck tumor during last three and half years that required wide excision and immediate reconstruction with various flaps, not with primary closure or simple skin graft. We present our experience with varied flaps for reconstruction after wide resection of head and neck tumors 3 cases of defect of dorsum of nose or medial canthus with island forehead flaps, lower eyelid defect with cheek flap, cheek defect with Limberg flap, orbital floor defect with Temporalis muscle flap, lateral neck defects with Pectoralis major myocutaneous flap or Latissimus dorsi myocutaneous free flap, subtotal nose defect with scalping flap, wide forehead defect with Dorsalis pedis free flap and 3 cases of mandibular defect or mandibular defect combined with lower lip defect were reconstructed with free vascularized iliac bone graft or free vascularized iliac bone graft concomitantly combined with free groin flap pedicled on deep circumflex iliac vessels We obtained satisfactory results coincided wi th goal of treatment of head and neck tumors, MAXIMAL CURE RATE with MINIMAL MORBIDITY, OPTIMAL FUNCTION, and an APPEARANCE as close to normal as possible.

Although regional and myocutaneous flaps are still the standard in head and neck reconstruction. The capacity to transfer distant tissues by microsurgical technique expands the reconstructive surgeon's ability to restore severe deformities of the head and neck. From 1981 to 1985, thirteen patients with extensive defects of the head and neck after extirpative surgery of tumor have been reconstructed utilizing the technique of microsurgical composite tissue transplantation. In this series of patients, six presented with reconstructions in the different region of the head and neck with review of literatures. The results of case analysis are summarized as follows: 1) Transplantation was successful in twelve among thirteen patients (92%). 2) Seven patients presented with malignancy and six with benign tumor. 3) Frequent sites of reconstruction were face and mandible. 4) Fourteen free composite tissue transplantations for reconstruction of thirteen patients were obtained six different tissue compositions from eight different donor sites. 5) The recipient artery and vein was most often superficial temporal or facial vessels. 6) The average time of operation was ten hours.

A case of primary laryngeal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is detailed with a review of the literature, on this rare site of presentation. Histologic findings and radio-therapeutic technique are included with longterm follow-up data. Local radiotherapy is a curative treatment of choice due to longterm NED survival with preservation of voice.

A total of eighty five cases with supraglottic carcinoma treated by radical radiotherapy in Yonsei Cancer Center between Jan. 1974 and Dec. 1980, was observed through retrospective analysis. This study is concerned wi th patients selection for irradiation alone or combined treatment with surgery. Emphasis is directed to the analysis of effectiveness of radical radiotherapy instead of partial laryngectomy in T-1, T-2 and early T-3 lesion. A satisfactory control of laryngeal disease and preservation of a normal voice ranging from 100% for $T_1N_0$ lesions, 61.1% for $T_2N_0$ to 50% for $T_3N_0$. But 47.1% of cases with node metastasis on admission had poor results to irradiation suggesting of necessicity of combined treatment. 5 year recurrence-free survivals was 43.3% in all cases with supraglottic carcinoma treated by irradiation alone, although it was 87.5% in T-1 and 51.8% in T-2.
