RESUMO
Omphalocele is the most common congenital defect of the abdominal wall. Mortality rate is between 20 and 70% and early closure of the abdominal wall, within 10 days of life, is vital to the successful outcome of the surgical treatment. The authors describe the use of two bipedicled flaps of abdominal skin to correct the defect of the midline as soon as the reduction of all viscera has been accomplished.

Fibro-osseous lesions of the maxillofacial complex are often difficult to diagnose from both a clinical and a histopathologic point of view. The parameters for the diagnosis of juvenile active ossifying fibroma are as follows: a patient under 15 years of age, localization of the tumor, the radiologic aspect, and the tendency to recur. Although many authors favor conservative surgery rather than radical en bloc resection, immediate recurrence characterized by a high aggressive growth rate and the absence of a distinct separation between the tumor and the adjacent bone requires ex- tensive surgery, with wide demolition of the involved bone.
