A rare case of macrodactylia involving three of the four limbs was observed in a two and a half year old child. A diffuse swelling developed in the right axilla and on the right chest wall. The pathological diagnosis for the tumor was benign lipoblastomatosis. The relationship between the two disorders was discussed.
Clinical applications of a new free flap are presented. The parascapular flap is a cutaneous unit whose blood supply is provided by a posterior branch of the inferior scapular artery. It is a safe and relatively large flap (approximately 8 by 12 cm or more) with a constant pedicle. It has no sensory nerve. The donor site is easy to close directly. As suggested by Baudet, we think it is useful in reconstruction of the palm and, in some cases, the dorsum of the hand.

Facio-craniostenosis. Facio-craniostenosis is associated with premature stenosis of one or several cranial sutures. The clinical variety is defined by the affected suture. In the complex forms, major disturbances of the anterior fossa of the cranial base are observed. Intracranial hypertension sometimes observed may lead to impairment of the function of the brain or the eyes. The authors have observed 73 children with craniostenosis and have operated upon 49 of them. Three types of methods have been used. The stress is made on the latest one combining advancement of the orbito-frontal "bandeau" and the regularization of the vault. Operating early is essential for prevention of functional sequellae. The optimal age for surgical treatment seems to be between 3 and 6 months. Complications have been remarkable benign.
