The use of antibiotics in suppurative otitis media has greatly diminished the incidence of its complications. However, incomplete antibiotic therapy has altered the clinical course of middle ear disease to more insidious. Among the complications of suppurative otitis media, Bezold's abscess is a subperiosteal abscess of the temporal bone due to a mastoiditis with extravasation through the inner bony table into the digastric fossa. It has become rare, but the variety of its clinical presentations may embarrass clinicians. In the last two years, we treated two cases of Bezold's abscess different in clinical presentations each other and we report our cases with a review of literatures.

Giant cell tumors acount for 4% of all bone tumors and usually occur in the epiphyses of long bones and rarely involve the head and neck region, representing about 9% of them. The incidence of giant cell tumor arising in Paget's disease, which is characterized by a bizarre and greatly exaggerated skeletal turnover, is probably less than 0.2%. We experienced a case of giant cell tumor in the bilateral maxilla with Paget's disease of bone, which was treated by excision and curettage of the tumor mass via endoscopic approach.
