Abstract
1) A 45 years old female was suffering from painless swelling in the left upper gum since the early part of June, 1952. The case visited our Clinic in the early part of September in the same year because the swelling extended to her right cheek and submaxillar region. The case underwent excision under the diagnosis of squamous cells carcinoma.
2) A 64 years old male was suffering from swelling in the upper part of the nose accompanied by stinking nasal discharge since the early part of December of 1952. The case underwent total excision under the diagnosis of squamous cells carcinoma.
3) As for the first case, the present paper points out the necessity to be careful in the performance of various pre-and post-operative examinations. As for the second case, several remarks which should be observed on the occasion of taking samples for pathological histological sections, were made.
4) The present paper reports that, for the incision to be made in the face for this operation, _??_-or _??_-shape incision in the upper lip is favorable also in the cosmetic point of view.
