Abstract

An unusual case of two primary tumors of the facial region is presented. Successful treatment was effected by radical resection and x-irradiation therapy. The deformity that resulted was absence of the hemimandible. This was corrected with a custom-made mandible, which gave a functional as well as an esthetic result.
