We report a case of nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis of Hoffman-Zurhelle (NCLS), with multiple lesions, in a ten-year-old child. The NLCS is considered rare. The classical clinical presentation is characterized by multiple skin-colored or yellowish papules and nodules, which can have a linear distribution. Histologically, it is characterized by the presence of mature ectopic adipocytes...

Blepharochalasis is an uncommon disorder distinguished by recurrent episodes of eyelid oedema in young patients. A hypertrophic form, manifested as fat herniation, and an atrophic form, manifested as fat atrophy, have been described. Ptosis with excellent levator function, laxity of the lateral canthal structures with rounding of the lateral canthal angle, nasal fat pad atrophy, and redundant e...

Naevus lipomatosis cutaneous superficialis (NLCS) is a rare benign hamartoma of adipose tissue of the skin characterized by the presence of clusters of mature ectopic fat cells among the collagen bundles of the dermis. Usually, the number of adnexal structures is reduced in NLCS with preserved morphology. NLCS is also recognized as "Naevus lipomatosis of Hoffman and Zurhelle". NLCS is presented...

BACKGROUND Successful long-term volume retention of an autologous fat graft is problematic. The presence of contaminating cells, tumescent fluid, and free lipid in the graft contributes to disparate outcomes. Better preparation methods for the fat graft before transplantation may significantly improve results. METHODS Subcutaneous fat from 22 donors was divided and processed using various gra...

UNLABELLED Several materials have been injected or introduced in the vocal folds in attempt of solving the glottic insufficiency. However, few studies have evaluated the cicatricial process due to the implantation of these materials. AIM The objective of this research was to evaluate the concentration of collagen after microsurgery graft of muscular fascia and fat in the vocal folds of rabbit...

This study addresses the development of an animal model for human giant congenital nevomelanocytic nevi (GCNN). Skin grafts were made from 1) non-involved split-thickness skin from a 12-month-old GCNN patient, 2) nevus split-thickness skin from the same GCNN patient, 3) nevus full-thickness skin, and 4) cadaveric human split-thickness skin. For groups 1) and 2), human epidermal and dermal cells...

MATERIALS AND METHODS: We report on our treatment of 6 limbs in 3 patients (age range, 19–36 years). In each case we applied fat graft at the medial side of the limb 150–175 cc. There were minimal deformity (Langenskiöld stage 1), patients had only aesthetic complaint, not pain or osteoartrit.The varus angulation at the tibia was measured and osteoarthritis was evaluated with radiographs.Patien...

Increased dermal mucin is a feature of lupus erythematosus (LE); however, its amount and distribution have not been well characterized. The differentiation of LE from other forms of dermatitis can be challenging when other features of LE are subtle or equivocal. One hundred and thirty-five skin specimens showing LE, graft vs. host disease, erythema multiforme/fixed drug eruption, lichen planus,...

We present the results obtained in a case of a 20-year-old Caucasian woman with a posttraumatic injury "hard-to-heal" of the left leg treated using autologous fat graft. Considering our experience in treatment of chronic posttraumatic ulcers by autologous fat graft, we decided to use this surgical technique to induce a regenerative effect in this young patient. We have had complete wound closur...
