Abstract

For correct diagnosis case history and clinical appearance have the most important role, and diagnostic methods later merely supplement initial knowledge of the disease. Unfortunately, in the daily practice of the maxillofacial surgeon malignant tumours are more frequent than benign tumours and nontumorous lesions, with which they can be confused. Consequently, the two basic alternatives which confront the clinician - to conduct diagnostics in accordance with the most frequent diagnosis or in accordance with the most dangerous - merge into one in the case of tumours of the head and neck.
The presentation will illustratively show cases of diagnoses of malignant tumours and conditions with which they may be confused. The pathology of the oral cavity, sinuses, jaws, skin and salivary glands will be presented. The examples presented are meant to refresh or supplement the oral surgeon's knowledge.
