title: Midfacial tumours: a review of 72 cases.
abstract: We review 72 midfacial tumours managed during the 10-year period between 1985 and 1995. We describe presenting features, sites of lesions and histology, treatment regimens and outcomes, as well as the various surgical approaches for the resection of midfacial tumours, and their indications and contraindications. The choice of approach should be based on type of tumour, its site, and extent.
