A case is reported in which a X-year-old white man had a painful nodule in the soft tissues of the right cheek. The family physician believed that there was a stone in Rtensen’s duct. The nodule was surgically removed and no stone was found. A frozen section was done, and the diagnosis of epidermoid carcinoma, grade 2 or 3, was made. The patient was a research chemist, who experimented in the production of many The theory is expressed that the fine particles of carbon-black types of carbon-black.

Routine use of preanesthetic narcotic medication is not advised. medication should be ordered to meet the needs of each operative case.
