Introduction Desmoplastic trichoepithelioma is an uncommon adnexal tumour (Rahman et al, 2020) predominantly affecting young women in cosmetically sensitive sites (Mamelak et al, 2010). Detection is often incidental and histological diagnosis can be impeded by biopsies that are insufficiently deep (Mamelak et al, 2010). Clinically and histologically it can mimic morphoeic basal cell..

Aims: The lateral orbital orbicularis propeller flap (LOOP) is a propeller flap raised on a non-axial orbicularis oculi pedicle. Once mastered, it is speedy to raise, extremely reliable, and capable of transposing thin, supple, and relatively hairless skin and subcutis from the temple region to the periocular region. We aim..

We read with interest the articles by Kiely et al. discussing the challenges of completely excising cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCC) with standard surgical excision. The incidence of cSCC places a significant burden on skin cancer services, and thus conventional surgical excision remains the pragmatic standard of care. However, incomplete..

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer worldwide, accounting for approximately 80% of non-melanoma skin cancers. BCC metastasis is an extremely rare sequela with an estimated incidence of 0.0028%–0.5% among all BCC diagnoses. We describe a case of an 82-year-old man with a history of multiple previous BCC excisions...

Extract I should like to thank Drs. Chang, Esmaeli, and Butler for citing my article, “Defining the Role of Secondary Intention Healing in Full-Thickness Lid Margin Defects,” in their recent CME article in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. May I respectfully point out, however, that this otherwise most helpful article perpetuates..

Abstract More than 30 years have passed since the first case series was published regarding the phenomenon of secondary intention healing in relation to lid margin defects. Despite the fascinating results, the technique has not gained widespread support. This study looks at a series of 34 marginal lower lid defects allowed to..

Summary The area of the nose immediately medial to the nasofacial groove is a common site for relatively small but penetrating basal cell carcinomas (BCCs). Although larger lesions may necessitate formal subunit reconstruction, smaller lesions pose a considerable dilemma. Full-thickness skin grafts (FTSGs) often result in an unsightly contour defect...

Summary This case report demonstrates a modification of the so-called ‘Extended V-Y Flap’ used to simultaneously reconstruct a defect involving the upper lip, floor of nose and alar rim following tumour excision. We hope that this case serves as a reminder of the versatility of the V-Y flap in the..
