Treatment Surgery

A six year old crossbred male dog presented with non-pigmented, pale pink, unhaired, ulcerative tumor of the medial canthus and upper eyelid region. As treatment, surgery was proposed. During the surgery complete excision of the tumor was performed. The extent of skin loss, especially in the upper eyelid required plastic reconstruction by pedicle flap transposition. The soft skin of the cheek was chosen as a graft donor site. The postoperative period proceeded without any complications and ended with successful engraftment. The soft cheek skin did not impede movement of the upper eyelid. Histopathological examination indicated histiocytoma and tumor-free excisional margins were confirmed. There has been no recurrence during the subsequent 12 month period.

Background: Small defects of the inner canthus can be difficult to repair with an aesthetically satisfactory result, due to the difficulty in matching skin types and the resulting donor site scars.Methods: We describe a technique which we have employed for repairing skin defects around the inner canthus, using a cutaneous advancement flap from the upper eyelid, based on the superior palpebral artery.Results: Complete excision of the lesion was possible, and a cosmetically acceptable result was obtained.Conclusions: By using this technique, skin is moved within one aesthetic unit, thus maximising skin type matching and cosmetic results. In addition, the technique creates a donor site which can be easily hidden within the natural creases of the upper lid, and the arterial supply maximises the chances of flap survival.

Introduction: Pilomatrixoma is a relatively rare, benign tumor arising from the hair root matrix. It is found frequently on the head and neck, with most involving the eyebrow in the periocular region. In contrast, eyelid pilomatrixoma is less common, and often clinically misdiagnosed. Here, we present clinical and histological data from 19 pilomatrixomas arising in the eyelid. Methods: The study represents a retrospective study of eyelid pilomatrixoma diagnosed at our institution since 1981. All slides were reviewed, and demographic as well as clinical data obtained. Results: Patient ages ranged from 2 to 63 years (mean 24 years), including 12 (63%) females and 7(37%) males. Eight (42%) and 4 (21%) cases arose in the first and second decades of life, respectively. Upper eyelid involvement was found in 14 (74 %) of cases. Microscopically, the tumors were characterize by basaloid and shadow cells accompanied by calcification and foreign body giant cells. Conclusions: Eyelid pilomatrixoma is rarely suspected clinically, and can be mistaken for cyst, chalazion, sebaceous carcinoma and other tumors. Physicians should consider the possibility of pilomatrixoma in the eyelid area, especially in children or young female patients. Complete excision is curative, and diagnosis can generally be established by histopathological examination.

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.
