Choroid plexus carcinoma is a rare intracranial neoplasm, affecting mainly very young children. The commonest site is within the lateral ventricles and the prognosis is very poor. We report a seven month old baby boy who presented with raised intracranial pressure and seizures. Brain CT scan showed large intraventricular mass with calcification and hydrocephalus. Total macroscopic resection of the tumour was performed and diagnosis of choroid plexus carcinoma was made. However, the patient died 11 days after the tumour excision. The histopathology of this rare childhood neoplasm is discussed.

149 patients aged 30-80 years (76 males, 73 females) underwent a surgical treatment of basocell skin carcinoma in the period of 1992-1996. Results showed that: this carcinoma was common on the elderly, mainly on the skin area of face and neck, especially the areas of nose, cheek and eyes. A high rate of patients admitted in hospital early. After operation, the rate of recurrent accounted for 16.8%, the most occurred within 2 years after, especially of the tumors of > 5 cm. The recurrent tumors  2cm occurred only within the first 2 years, and later for the larger tumors.

717 post-operation cases of gastric adenocarcinoma were studied at Viet Duc Hospital from the year 1993 to 1998. Surgical accidents accounted for 0.41%, postoperative complication 7.5%, surgical mortality 3.1%. The curettage of glands did not increase the number of complication and death. 23% survived with a survival duration of 30.29 months pos-surgically. There were different rates of death between the group underwent radical management of the carcinoma by curettage and the one which did not. Curettage had prolonged the postoperative survival duration, without complication and death.

Carcinoma of the tongue remain one of the greatest management challenges for the head and neck surgeon because of the adverse effects of treatment on oral and pharyngeal function. In early carcinoma of the base of tongue however, the prognosis is encouraging and function of swallowing and speech is preserved despite surgery. Suprahyoid pharyngotomy is one of the surgical approaches advocated for resection of base of tongue tumours with primary anastomosis.

Verrucous carcinoma is a low grade, well differentiated, unusual variant of squamous cell carcinoma. It has been described to represent an intermediate lesion between condyloma acuminata and squamous cell carcinoma. Since malignant transformation of verrucous carcinoma has been reported to occur in 30-50% of cases, the first line treatment for verrucous carcinoma is surgery, preferably Mohs surgery. Herein, we describe a case of recurrent verrucous carcinoma on the right buttock of a man with a history of radical excision and radiotherapy of a previous perianal verrucous carcinoma. The patient was successfully treated with 5% imiquimod cream, an immune response modifier with potential antiviral and antitumor effects. Imiquimod may be an effective treatment for verrucous carcinoma and presents an alternative therapy to surgical excision.
