[Difficulties in recognition and treatment of lethal midline granuloma and otolaryngologic and radiotherapeutic...

The authors report on two cases of a "lethal midline granuloma". The first patient was treated by irradiation and chemotherapy. He lives for the last three and a half years in complete remission. The established diabetes did not affect the healing process. In the second case only a palliative irradiation was practicable because of the extreme tumour propagation, but the result was nevertheless good.
