Therapeutic effects of CO2 laser therapy for congenital sebaceous nevus.

Nevus sebaceous (NS) presents as alopecia and yellowish discoloration during infantile stage. In adult stage, lesions become verrucous. Importantly, various appendageal tumors such as trichoblastoma, syringocystadenoma papilliferum and basal cell carcinoma develop during this stage. Hence it is very important to follow the course of NS for early detection of neoplasms. We are presenting a case of a 10-year-old patient with a dome-shaped, dark-pigmented nodule on the left side of neck nape, which later diagnosed as NS and removed with a carbon dioxide laser.

Late infection of a breast prosthesis with staphylococcus aureus in a healthy woman: a case report.

Infection following breast augmentation is a rare event with an incidence rate of 1-2.5%. Late onset infections following breast augmentation are very rare. Herein, we present a case of breast implant infection in a 29-year-old female patient who underwent a bilateral augmentation mammoplasty with a silicone gel prosthesis. After 8 uneventful post-operative years, she presented with right-sided signs of breast infection. She initially treated medically but without improvement. Then, she underwent surgical washout and debridement with removal of the bilateral breast implants. Culture demonstrated Staphylococcus aureus. The clinical history and management of this unusual case are described. Because most of the infections occurs in the first few weeks after augmentation mammoplasty, there is a paucity of data about late onset infections. The most common cultured organism in the early infection is S. aureus.

A case of lip squamous cell carcinoma with a familial history of Xeroderma pigmentosum.

Xeroderma pigmentosum is an orphan hereditary photosensitive human disorder that is recognized by the development of skin lesions in sun-exposed regions of the body due to severe photosensitivity. Patients with this condition have an abnormal DNA repair process due to a genetic mutation. Xeroderma pigmentosum is considered as a risk factor of cancer since the affected population may develop various cutaneous cancers including both melanoma and non-melanoma cutaneous malignancies even at a younger age than the general population. This risk concerns also asymptomatic heterozygote individuals. Here, we present a case of 46 years old man with a familial history of Xeroderma pigmentosum who developed a microscopically confirmed squamous cell carcinoma of the lip.
