Hirano and Kotani report a case of epithe-lioma of the nasal septum. The patient,a man aged 69. showed evidence of total blockage of both nasal cavities by a tumor situated in the septum anteriorly the size of distal 1/3 of adult little finger: the growth proved to be epithe-lioma, by pathological examination. Surgical re-moval of the growth established a complete cure in the patient without further compli-cation.

By reviewing the literature of this cauntry since 1907 to date the authors find 20 cases of septal carcinoma including their own, and, summarize the study of these cases as follows:

(1) Septal carcinoma appear to have a prefe- rential age at 61 to 70.

(2) The males seem to be more susceptible than the females: ratio 4:1.

(3) The outstanding symptoms are a com- plete blockage of the nasal cavities and epitaxis.

(4) The patients thus affected seek medical advice within the period of 1 year since the snset of the disease.

(5) The usual site of the affection appear to be the anterior portion of the nasal se- ptum.

(6) The majority of this type of lesion are epithelioma.

(7) Very little metastasis are found to other parts or organs of the body.

(8) The chance of recovery is good.
