Empyema necessitans (EN) is a rare but dangerous complication of a lower respiratory tract infection. The diagnosis can be difficult to make and therefore delayed. We describe a case of a child with an atypical presentation of EN. He was afebrile and without chest pain and presented with a palpable chest wall mass after a history of recent respiratory infection. The threshold of suspicion for EN should be low, and it must be suspected in all children with a chest wall mass and recent history of respiratory infection.

Giant Basal Cell Carcinoma

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignant skin lesion and is frequently curatively treated with local excision. Improper removal or neglect of BCC is a particular problem for head and neck surgeons. We describe a case of a recurrent BCC that aggressively grew from the forehead skin through the skull and into the frontal lobe. We also present a review of the literature. Despite its fairly benign growth pattern, BCC should never be underestimated, and care should be taken not only in the complete primary excision but also in cancer surveillance.
