Microcystic adnexal carcinoma arising in the subcutaneous tissue of the upper lip

The youthful and aesthetic lip is comprised of a full upper lip with a definite demarcation between the red “mucosa” and white “cutaneous” surfaces. The upper lip arches gracefully upward forming a Cupid's bow. The lower lip is comprised of a full red mucosa slightly larger than the upper lip. With aging, there is a progressive atrophy of the mucosa, subcutaneous tissue, and muscle, resulting in a thinner, less defined, upper and lower lip complex. Various surgical techniques have evolved to treat and augment the thin and inadequate lip. We performed a retrospective review of 44 patients over the last five years who underwent augmentation cheiloplasty for thin and deficient lips. We describe our results here and offer a comparison of the different methods available for lip augmentation (surgical lip advancement, collagen injection, and alloplastic material). Finally, we show the evolution in our treatment of the aged, thin, and deficient lip over the last five years.

Enzyme Changes

Spontaneous mammary tumors in females of a high tumor strain of C3H mice were cut into small fragments that were Implanted into the subcutaneous tissue of the back of males of the same strain, where they grew as transplantable tumors. When about Cm. In diameter daily fractional radiation was begun, applied to the tumors, the rest of the body being shielded by a lead shield. Two groups were treated with 150 and 200 r X-ray dally, of half value layer 0.6mm. copper; a third group was treated with 500 r cobalt radiation dally. The primary purpose was to examine the enzyme changes during radiation, with histochemlcal technics.

Causal Therapy

Lymphedema and lipedema are chronic progressive disorders for which no causal therapy exists so far. Many general practitioners will rarely see these disorders with the consequence that diagnosis is often delayed. The pathophysiological basis is edematization of the tissues. Lymphedema involves an impairment of lymph drainage with resultant fluid build-up. Lipedema arises from an orthostatic predisposition to edema in pathologically increased subcutaneous tissue. Treatment includes complex physical decongestion by manual lymph drainage and absolutely uncompromising compression therapy whether it is by bandage in the intensive phase to reduce edema or with a flat knit compression stocking to maintain volume.

Background: To clarify the clinical use of sonography for differentiation of edema we tried to answer the question whether a group of doctors can differentiate lymphedema from cardiac, hepatic or venous edema just by analysing sonographic images of the edema. Patients and methods: 38 (70 ± 12 years, 22 (58 %) females) patients with lower limb edema were recruited according the clinical diagnosis: 10 (26 %) lymphedema, 16 (42 %) heart insufficiency, 6 (16 %) venous disorders, 6 (16 %) chronic hepatic disease. Edema was depicted sonographically at the most affected leg in a standardised way at distal and proximal calf. 38 sets of images were anonymised and send to 5 experienced doctors. They were asked whether they can see criteria for lymphedema: 1. anechoic gaps, 2. horizontal gaps and 3. echoic rims. Results: Accepting an edema as lymphedema if only one doctor sees at least one of the three criteria for lymphatic edema on each single image all edema would be classified as lymphatic. Accepting lymphedema only if all doctors see at least one of the three criteria on the distal image of the same patient 80 % of the patients supposed to have lymphedema are classified as such, but also the majority of cardiac, venous and hepatic edema. Accepting lymphedema only if all doctors see all three criteria on the distal image of the same patients no edema would be classified as lymphatic. In addition we separated patients by Stemmers sign in those with positive and negative sign. The interpretation of the images was not different between both groups. Conclusions: Our analysis shows that it is not possible to differentiate lymphedema from other lower limb edema sonographically.

Shave Therapy

SummaryAdvanced chronic venous stasis syndrome is characterized by irreversible and self-perpetuating morphological alterations in the lower leg. A chronic inflammatory process results in sclerosis, which progresses from the skin to the subcutaneous tissue and ultimately the fascia, sometimes including muscle and ankle joint and leading to chronic compartment syndrome. To cure these severe alterations with non healing ulcers decompression of the compartments like paratibial fasciotomy with SEPS and crural fasciectomy or removal of sclerosis like shave therapy are successful surgical procedures. Indication should be adapted to the extension of ulcer. Indications of the operations and the techniques are described, complications and results are discussed. Due to ulcer extension especially shave therapy (removal of the sclerotic tissue epifascial) and crural fasciectomy (removal of sclerosis including fascia) are very successful with up to 80% healing rate, even in severe cases and even after long term (up to 8 years). Since shave therapy is easy, short and simple with short healing time, few complications and good aesthetical result it is the first choice of treatment for non healing leg ulcers. Fasci ectomy is reserved for special indications such as deep transfascial necrosis or failure of shave therapy.
