Abstract

A simple, practical alternative to the traditional method of excising small cutaneous lesions is described. It has the advantages of decreased length of final closure and flexibility in determining the orientation of final incisions in areas where it may be difficult to accurately determine skin tension lines.

Facelift surgery: an adjunct in the treatment of capillary malformations (port wine stains).

Hemangiomas and lymphangiomas remain the most common benign tumors seen by the plastic surgeon that involve a neonate's skin and deeper tissues. A significant number of tumors undergo spontaneous regression and require no treatment. The port wine stain (PWS) remains one of the most difficult variants of hemangiomas to treat and continues to be psychologically traumatic throughout a patient's lifetime. Recently, advanced use of laser technology has yielded beneficial results for a significant number of these patients. This report illustrates the incorporation of facelift surgery as an adjunct in the overall management of older patients resulting in decreased use of cosmetics and great improvement in general well being.

Extrafacial granuloma faciale.

Granuloma faciale nearly always occurs on the face; extrafacial lesions are extremely rare. This is the tenth reported case. Extrafacial granuloma faciale closely resembles erythema elevatum diutinum; however, they are distinct entities which can be differentiated from each other.
