Although a benign lesion, the central giant cell granuloma can be locally aggressive and quite destructive. The case reported here involved a giant cell lesion occurring in the mandibular symphysis of an 11-year-old girl. The treatment required four hospital admissions over a period of 4 years. The surgical intervention was complicated by a localized infection requiring closed reduction and bone grafting. The patient was followed over a period of 8 years, during which there was no recurrence of tumor or infection subsequent to the last surgical procedure.

A case report of plasma cell tumor of the maxilla has been reported. In addition, the characteristics of both the solitary lesion and multiple myeloma are presented to compare and contrast the two lesions. We realize that the follow-up period to date has not been sufficient to justify the final diagnosis of solitary plasma cell tumor, even though laboratory data thus far have not indicated dissemination. The patient's condition may or may not progress into the disseminated stage, but this will be determined by time.

Two cases are presented that show the progression to sialocele or salivary fistula, or both, after a modified Risdon approach is used for mandibular subcondylar osteotomy. Use of antisialogogues and conservative management is recommended.

An attempt was made to summarize the literature concerning the potential spaces between fascial layers in the face and neck and to correlate the variations in terminology used by different authors. It soon became evident in a search of the literature that far too many names are given to the same anatomical space and that there is a wealth of written material for study. As a result, the descriptions given here deal with the terminology that was most frequently encountered (Table). As anatomical relations form the basis of diagnosis and therapy, a thorough knowledge of the nature of infective processes in the facial and cervical regions is essential. The various fascial spaces are described and some general aspects of diagnosis are considered.

A complication of oronasal fistula secondary to anterior maxillary osteotomy occurred; it was successfully treated after two attempts at closure.
