Introduction: Skin graft reconstruction is a common method of providing wound coverage. Rarely, skin grafting can be associated with the development of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the graft donor site. Case Report: The patient is a 72-year old male with a 15-year history of bilateral hip wounds. He underwent a multitude of treatments previously with failed reconstructive efforts. After presenting to us, he underwent multiple debridements and eventual skin grafting. Within 4 weeks of the final skin graft, a mass developed at the skin graft donor site at the right thigh. Excisional biopsy returned a well differentiated keratinizing SCC. Discussion/Conclusion: This case demonstrates the acute presentation of SCC in a patient following a skin graft without known risk factors. The purpose of this unique case report is to highlight a very rare occurrence of SCC at a skin graft donor site.

Purpose.To describe the use of the temporoparietal fascial flap (TPF) in the reconstruction of extensive lower eyelid defects in a functioning eye.Methods.We present a surgical case report of a 73-year-old female with melanoma of the left lower eyelid. The lower eyelid was resected, and a composite nasal cartilage-mucosa graft, a skin graft, and a TPF were used to reconstruct the lower eyelid.Results.This achieved reconstruction of the lower eyelid with the protection of the eye and preservation of the visual system function.Conclusion.The TPF serves as a good option for reconstruction of the lower eyelid in a viable functioning globe.

Abstract Objective and Importance: To describe an alternative approach to the operative management of large meningomyeloceles, in which primary closure is not possible. Clinical Presentation: Two full-term infants presented with very large menin-gomyeloceles for closure after an uncomplicated delivery. Technique: An allogeneic skin graft was used in both cases to approximate the skin defect that remained after removal of the large meningomyelocele sacs. The surgical site was treated with dressing changes only during the postoperative period. Conclusion: The independent use of allogeneic skin grafts can lead to a successful cosmetic result for the treatment of large meningomyeloceles without the use of complicated skin incisions or flap advancements.
