✦ Synopsis

Autologous bone marrow transplantation has offered a way of increasing the dose of drugs and radiotherapy which can be used to treat patients with malignant disease in an attempt to eradicate tumour. Bone marrow is takcn prior to treatment and returned to the patient to 'rescue' haemopoietic function after ablative therapy is completed. Bone marrow removed for autograft may be contaminated with tumour cells at the time of harvest, and it is undesirable to return these to patients even though there are little data available concerning the number of tumour cells necessary to reseed various malignancies.

This review considers the various methods available for removing tumour cells from bone marrow destined for autologous transplantation, and evaluates their advantages and disadvantages.

Background. Primary small cell carcinoma of the head and neck is rare. Although the larynx is the most prevalent site of head and neck small cell carcinoma (SCC), this report will concentrate on SCC of the major salivary glands and paranasal sinuses. In all, 33 cases of paranasal sinus and 43 cases
