“…Reexamination of the chest on Jan. 5,1953, showed the loculated density of the right side that was previously reported. One gets the impression that the tension was somewhat less than that originally seen.…”

“…It has been suggested that these tumours probably arise from misplaced embryonic muscle cells (McCuaig, 1952). The tumour in Case III originated in the muscles of the soft palate and is similar to the botryoid type of rhabdomyosarcoma of the uvula and soft palate (Cappell and Montgomery, 1937;Vieta et al, 1962). In Cases I and II, the tumours involved the nasal cavities and structures of the face including facial muscles.…”

). Out of 391 cases of nasal and paranasal tumours reviewed by Ringertz (1938) and 64 similar cases reviewed by Benenati (1903), no tumours of skeletal muscle origin were found. During a six year period, , about 150 patients with histologically proven malignant diseases of the upper respiratory tract, were recorded in the Cancer Registry of the Pathology Department, University College Hospital, Ibadan. Of these, 5 patients (3 3 %) had rhabdomyosarcomas. In view of the relative rarity of this type of tumour in the upper respiratory tract, the clinicopathological features of the patients are presented and the ultra-structure of tumour from three patients are described. MATERIALS AND METHODSBiopsy specimens for light microscopy were fixed in 10 % formol saline and stained with haematoxylin and eosin, phosphotungstic acid haematoxylin (P.T.A.H.), Heidenhain's iron haematoxylin and periodic acid Schiff. Tissues for electron microscopy were subsequently fixed in glutaraldehyde, post-fixed in osmium tetroxide, embedded in Epon, cut and stained with lead citrate. Sections were examined with an R.C.A. electron microscope. CASE REPORTS Case IThe patient was a 4[-year-old female, who presented with a 10-week history of progressive swelling of the right side of her nose which had been treated by topical applications by her parents for some time. On examination, there was a painless, pale, ulcerated, firm, lobulated tumour mass, measured 1 cm. in diameter, which involved the right nasal cavity, the right ala nasae and extended to the face across the nasofacial groove. The tumour was adherent to skin in places but mobile over deeper tissues. It expanded the nasal vestibule which it almost completely occluded. There was no cervical lymphadenopathy. The tumour mass, along with part of the ala nasae, was removed surgically. The tumour was not encapsulated but there was an apparent plane of cleavage between the tumour and surrouning tissues. There was no underlying bone destruction. The cavity thus created was packed, and postoperative recovery was uneventful. The patient was followed

“…In only 6 of the 14 cases reviewed by Hirsch in 1934 were the growths separate from the testis. Spermatic cord tumours (Cappell and Montgomery, 1937;Shivers, 1944;Hansen, Enos, Park, and Postell, 1952) are more common than tumours of the epididymis (Strong, 1942), but they appear to be identical morphologically and may be considered together. However, by virtue of their site, tumours of the epididymis are more prone to invade the testis and thus give rise to difficulty in distinguishing them from teratomata.…”

“…It is of interest that highly anaplastic tumours whose origin is doubtful may have their muscular nature revealed in their metastases (Hirsch, 1934). Such secondary deposits probably result from the dissemination of primitive anaplastic tissue which then differentiates to form muscle cells (Cappell and Montgomery, 1937).…”
