Introduction: Most cases of lower eyelid reconstruction are due to defects resulting from resection of skin malignancies. The principles of eyelid reconstruction have been established, but it remains challenging to achieve good functional and aesthetic reconstruction. Material and Methods: Knowing the principles of eyelid reconstruction as well as of the basic anatomy is crucial when approaching the repair of e...
Introdução: O carcinoma de células de Merkel é um carcinoma neuro-endócrino raro, agressivo que se manifesta geralmente nos idosos. Apresenta-se geralmente como um nódulo de crescimento rápido localizado preferencialmente na cabeça, pescoço ou membros. Tem elevada taxa de recorrência loco-regional e à distância. A excisão cirúrgica radical é o tratamento consensual e o papel da linfadenectomia, da radioterapia ...
Introdução: A queilite actínica é uma lesão pré-maligna que ocorre predominantemente no vermilion do lábio inferior de indivíduos do sexo masculino.Objectivos: Comparar duas opções de tratamento para queilite actínica: ablação por laser de CO2 e vermelhectomia. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo retrospetivo de doentes com queilite actínica tratados com ablação por laser CO2 ou vermelhectomia, num período de 11 a...
Background: Sentinel lymph node biopsy is undertaken as a standard procedure for patients with localized cutaneous melanoma. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) melanoma panel has reinforced the status of Sentinel lymph node biopsy as the most important prognostic factor for disease survival.Objectives: We sought to identify predictive factors associated with positive SLN biopsy and correlation wit...
Introduction: Squamous cell carcinoma of the scrotum is a rare tumour. It was the first cancer directly linked to occupational exposure to carcinogens (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons).Clinical Case: A 59-year old man was referred with a one year history of a painful scrotal ulcer, 8 cm in diameter, associated with genital lymphedema. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma....
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare fibrohistiocytic tumor with frequent locoregional recurrences and a low metastatic ability. Only 6% of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans are diagnosed in children. The gold standard treatment is the surgical excision and the lower recurrence rates are observed with wide surgical margins (2,5cm) or with margin control by Mohs micrographic surgery. The authors report the ca...
The lips, as moving structures of the face, are cosmetically and functionally important areas. Closure of surgical defects involving the oral commissures is particularly challenging, due to the high risk of local anatomy disruption and functional or esthetical compromise. We describe the case of a 69-year old patient who was observed with a large basal cell carcinoma of the right perioral region, extending to t...
A 77-year-old female patient submitted to excision of a basal cell carcinoma, resulting in an oval shaped defect with 20x25mm in diameter and exposure of the medial portions of alar cartilages. The reconstruction was perfor- med with transposition of muscle flaps from nasalis muscle in order to obtain a suitable vascular bed for a full-thickness skin graft harvested from a glabelar fold. The final result was co...
Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), common designation for both basal cell carcinomas (BCC) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), is the most frequent malignant skin neoplasm. The authors have performed a retros- pective analysis of all patients diagnosed with NMSC based on histopathologic analysis of all incisional or excisional skin biopsies performed between 2004 and 2008 in a Department of Dermatology. A total o...
Introduction: Acne has a significant impact on patient’s self-esteem and quality of life. Several studies have shown psychological changes including anxiety, social inhibition, depression and suicidal ideation in acne patients. Since the approval of isotretinoin for the treatment of refractory or severe acne, there have been reports of cases and with interest sparked by the media for an association between isot...
