Reticulum-cell sarcoma of the mandible.
A case of reticulum-cell sarcoma of the mandible is presented. This case is of interest because a secondary primary malignancy was diagnosed in a patient with Hodgkin's disease and a localized osteomyelitis. If reticulum-cell sarcoma of bone, which is highly radiosensitive, is diagnosed at an early stage, the 5-year survival rate has been reported at 73 per cent when treated by irradiation; radical surgery is not indicated.
