Abstract
Symptoms of swelling of the right cheek and exophthalmos of the right eye were complained of in an infant, aged 1 year and 6 months. With a diagnosis of maxillary sinusitis the infant was operated upon. Microscopic examination of the removed tissue was reported as undiffentiated cell cancer. The patient was treated with radiation therapy, but died about 6 months after the operation. Postmortem examination of the tissue proved the affection to be a multiple myeloma.
We are grateful to be instruction and assistance of Prof. Toshikazu Nishihata, chief of the clinic of Oto-rhino-laryngology, Prof. Keizo Kageyama and Kenjiro Arakawa, M. D., at the department of Pathology.
