In au active bone clinic at a large hospital, fifty-two cases of solitary bone cvsts collected in a twenty-six-year period; one of these cysts was in the mandible. bone cyst in the Case Report: “M. Ii., a forty-three year old man, had a solitary mandible. The patient was treated with intraoral splints and a Harton bandage. Surgical eradication of the cyst was refused.” In the cases studied, all patients had a bone survey and chemical studies, anti iu no instance xere other cysts or disturbances in calcium metabolisn found. 1‘. .I.

At, operation, a soft mueoid material was curetted out aud histologic examinatiolr revealed a relatively acellular mgxoma. There was a recurrence of the tumor and a second operation was perfornleci in which the body of the mandible was resected and a bone graft was inserted. Follow--up showed the patient with no recurrence of the tumor, no tlisabilit)-. and with an excellent cosmetic effect.

A case is presented in which there was an immediate replacement with a tantalllm a1111 prosthesis following resection of the affected area of the mandible. The patient lvas a male, aged 63 years, who said the painless swelling at the angle of the left mandible had been present for one year. Roentgenogramx demonstrated a multilocular radiolucent area of bone destruction at diaguosis of adarr~antinorr~a \\ as the angle of the mandible on the left side. 9 provisional made. The patient was treated surgically by resection of the tumor and immediate replacement by a prefabricated allelograft of tantalum and ac,rylic resin. By careful clinical and radiographical measurements a half mandible of the “girtlertype” construction was made in the dental laboratory from sheet tantalum of 2 mm. gauge thickness. The trough between the sides of the “girder!’ was filled with clear acrylic resin in order to avoid a dead space. The prosthesis was attached to the bone hp tantalum wire. Penicillin 500,000 U. and streptomycin 0.5 g. bid. were given for 5 days. Postoperative check-up two years aft,er surgery was excellent. T. .I. r‘. acrylic
