PERIOSTEAL SARCOMA OF THE LOWER JAW. 121 canine tooth, and disarticulated the bone on the left side. Death took placea few hours after the operation from exhaustion. This case ig alsodescribed in v. Pitha and Billroths * Chirurg., Bd. ii, 2 Abth., p. 459. Periosteal sarcoma of the lower jaw. K. T—, set. 26, had noticed for nine months a swelling near the left tem-poro-maxillaiy articulation. In the course of three months it had reachedthe size of a hens egg. The tumour then began to increase with greatrapidity, and spread over the whole of the lower jaw, reaching the size shown Fig. 10.—Periosteal Saecoma of the Lower in the illustration. The patient could not completely close her mouth, andwas only able to swallow fluids; the respiration was quite free. After con-sultation with my colleague, v. Dumreicher, I decided against operation, aswe felt sure the patient would have died from the hsemorrhage. The dis-articulation must be rapidly accomplished in such cases or the haemorrhagemay prove fatal. 122 COMPARISON OP TUMOUKS OF UPPER AND LOWER JAW. Tumours of the Lower and Upper Jaw. It is interesting to compare the relative frequency of diseasesoccurring in the upper and lower jaw. In the upper jaw, cystietumours are more common. Epulis-sarcoma occurs equally in encapsuled form of central osteo-sarcoma is pecuhar to the lowerjaw. On the whole, the development of sarcoma is somewhat morecommon in the lower jaw, though not markedly so. My numbersare too small to allow me to make any positive statements on thispoint. Cases of infiltrated and periosteal sarcoma of the jaws are veryunfavourable,
