Reconstrucción palpebral postumorectomía. Presentación de un caso / Lower eyelid reconstruction after lumpectomy. A case report

Algunos pacientes en la tercera edad desarrollan con frecuencia diversas enfermedades, entre ellas se encuentra el cáncer de piel y la predisposición a la aparición de tumores, tanto en los párpados como en la conjuntiva. Entre los tumores epiteliales malignos se destacan: el carcinoma basocelular y el carcinoma epidermoide; con menor frecuencia, el carcinoma de células de Meibomio y el melanoma palpebral, y raramente, el carcinoma de células de Merkel. Por esta causa, se realizó la presentación de un caso clínico que recibió tratamiento en el Servicio de Cirugía Plástica del Hospital Vladimir Ilich Lenin, de Holguín, al cual se le aplicó la técnica de Mustardé por presentar tumor del párpado inferior. El objetivo fue presentar un paciente con reconstrucción palpebral postumorectomía y mostrar su resultado funcional y estético postoperatorio. Este caso evolucionó satisfactoriamente, sin aparición de complicaciones transoperatorias o postoperatorias.

Some elderly patients frequently develop various diseases, including skin cancer as well as a predisposition to the appearance of tumours, both in the eyelids and conjunctiva. Basal cell carcinoma and epidermoid carcinoma stand out among the malignant epithelial lesions; meibomian cell carcinoma and palpebral melanoma which are less common, and Merkel cell carcinoma rarely known. We present a male patient who received treatment in the plastic surgery service at "Vladimir Ilich Lenin" Hospital, in Holguín, to which Mustardé technique was applied for a tumour of the lower eyelid. An eyelid reconstruction was performed after lumpectomy which allowed us to show a postoperative functional and aesthetic result. This case evolved satisfactorily, without the appearance of intraoperative or postoperative complications.

Reconstrucción palpebral luego de una resección total por cáncer / Palpebral reconstruction after total resection due to cancer

Introducción: La incidencia de los tumores malignos palpebrales varía según las diferentes razas. Su frecuencia aumenta con la edad y su aparición está relacionada con factores genéticos, virales y ambientales. Objetivo: Presentar un caso con una lesión tumoral en el párpado inferior al que se le realizó la reconstrucción palpebral luego de una resección parcial por cáncer con técnica combinada que incluyó Mustardé e injerto de mucosa. Presentación de caso: Paciente masculino de 76 años de edad con antecedentes de salud. Hace un año atrás comenzó a presentar una lesión endurada en el párpado inferior izquierdo hacia el canto interno del ojo, que fue aumentando de volumen, con una ulceración posterior. En el examen físico se observó una lesión ulcerada y sucia de aproximadamente 2 ( 2,5 cm, que comprometía los 2/3 mediales del parpado inferior, incluyendo la vía conducto lagrimal. Tras la intervención quirúrgica la extirpación creó un defecto correspondiente a la ausencia en todos los planos anatómicos en casi la totalidad del párpado inferior izquierdo, por lo que se planeó un colgajo de avance de la mejilla. El estudio histopatológico confirmó un carcinoma epidermoide completamente resecado. Conclusiones: Esta cirugía combinada permitió una exéresis amplia del tumor con el margen oncológico requerido y la sustitución aproximada de las estructuras del párpado. Se lograron una funcionabilidad adecuada y una cubierta del globo ocular óptima en su porción inferior, además de armónico con el contralateral(AU)

Introduction: The incidence of palpebral malignant tumors varies according to different races. Its frequency increases with age and its occurrence is related to genetic, viral and environmental factors. Objective: To present a case with a tumor lesion in the lower eyelid, who underwent palpebral reconstruction after a partial resection due to cancer with a combined technique including Mustardé and mucosal graft and its clinical evolution. Case presentation: 76-year-old male patient with a medical history. One year ago he began to present an indurated lesion on the left lower eyelid towards the inner canthus of the eye that was increasing in volume, with subsequent ulceration. Physical examination revealed an ulcerated and dirty lesion of approximately 2 ( 2.5 cm involving the medial 2/3 of the lower eyelid, including the lacrimal duct. After surgery the excision created a defect corresponding to the absence in all anatomic planes in almost the entire left lower eyelid, so a cheek advancement flap was planned. Histopathologic study confirmed a completely resected epidermoid carcinoma. Conclusions: This combined surgery allowed wide excision of the tumor with the required oncologic margin and approximate replacement of the eyelid structures. Adequate functionality and optimal eyeball cover was achieved in its lower portion, as well as harmonic with the contralateral one(AU)

Treatments of palpebral congenital melanocytic nevus: a systematic review

Purpose: Palpebral congenital melanocytic nevi (PCMN) is a rare congenital skin lesion affecting the eyelids that can lead to cosmetic and psychological concerns and potential health risks such as malignancy. Several authors have analyzed therapeutical strategies to treat PCMN. However, there was no consensus in the literature. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and success of treatments of PCMN. Methods: We conducted a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines from October 2022 to April 2023. We included all types of study designs that described or compared PCMN treatments and interventions, as well as histology, recurrence, adverse events, patient satisfaction, and malignant transformation. The search strategy was based on specific search words through the following databases: PubMed, Embase, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (Lilacs), Web of Science, and Scopus. Ongoing studies and gray literature studies were included. Results: We analyzed 25 case reports with 148 participants. The effectiveness, success, and satisfaction with various treatments for PCMN depend on the specific treatment method and the individual patient's case. Conclusions: Most of the studies showed that surgical procedures (exeresis) are able to treat PCMN in the eyelid. The variability in outcomes emphasizes the importance of further research to better understand the most effective and safe approaches for treating congenital melanocytic nevi.

Versatilidad del colgajo Tripier en pacientes con lesiones oncológicas, postraumáticas y causadas por iatrogenia: 34 casos / Versatility of the Tripier flap in patients with oncological, post-traumatic and iatrogenic lesions: 34 cases

Este estudio demuestra la utilidad del colgajo inervado de Tripier en pacientes con diferentes etiologías, ya sean lesiones oncológicas, postraumaticas o lesiones causadas por iatrogenia. León Tripier, en 1889, describió un colgajo musculocutáneo inervado basado en el músculo orbicular, en donde utiliza un exceso de piel del párpado superior y orbicular para reconstruir los defectos del párpado inferior. Las evaluaciones preoperatorias y los procedimientos fueron realizados por un solo equipo quirúrgico en 34 pacientes, con edades comprendidas entre 18 y 72 años. El estudio se realizó en un período de 3 años, desde noviembre de 2016 a noviembre de 2019. Se pudo concluir que el colgajo musculocutáneo inervado de Tripier es una excelente alternativa para el cubrimiento de defectos que se presentan en la lamela anterior del párpado inferior. Su disección es fácil y rápida, presenta un buen aporte vascular y nervioso y es segura, lo cual es un factor importante, ya que la población de mayor demanda son pacientes de avanzada edad.

This study demonstrates the utility of the Tripier's innervated flap in patients with different etiologies, be they oncological, post-traumatic lesions or injuries caused by iatrogenesis. León Tripier in 1889 described an innervated musculocutaneous flap, based on the orbicularis muscle, where he uses excess skin from the upper eyelid and orbicularis to reconstruct defects of the lower eyelid. Preoperative evaluations and procedures were carried out by a single surgical team, and for this, 34 patients were taken, aged between 18 and 72 years. The study was conducted over a 3-year period from November 2016 to November 2019. It was concluded that Tripier's innervated musculocutaneous flap is an excellent alternative for covering defects that occur in the anterior lamella of the lower eyelid. Its dissection is easy and fast, and it also has a good vascular and nervous contribution, being safe, bearing in mind that it is an important factor, since the population in greatest demand is elderly patients.

Synchronous eyelid oncocytoma and conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia

Oncocytoma of the eyelid is a rare neoplasm. Oncocytoma associated with an ocular surface squamous neoplasm, namely conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia, is very hard to find in the literature. Herein we report a case of a 53-year-old male who presented with a swelling in the right lower lid over the last 6 years, along with a growth in the conjunctiva of the same eye for the last 2 years and encroaching upon the cornea for the last 4 months. Excision biopsy of the lower lid mass showed histopathological features consistent with oncocytoma. The conjunctival tissue revealed conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia 3 (severe dysplasia). This case documents a rare synchronous dual ocular neoplasia, a very unlikely coexistence of oncocytoma with conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia.

Reconstrucción palpebral inferior mediante colgajo de periostio y colgajo de Mustardé / Lower palpebral reconstruction by periosteum flap and Mustardé flap

Paciente masculino de 68 años con carcinoma basocelular lobulado recidivado en inferior izquierdo con colgajo de Hughes hace 5 años y posterior recidiva al siguiente año con escisión en cuña. Actualmente, con una segunda recidiva, se realiza una resección amplia del 75% del total del párpado cuya congelación informa márgenes libres, reconstruido en el mismo acto quirúrgico: la lamela posterior con colgajo pediculado de periostio y la anterior con un colgajo de Mustardé. El paciente evoluciona con un buen sostén y posición palpebral, sin recurrencia del tumor.

A 68-year-old man with recurrent lobulated basal cell carcinoma of the left lower eyelid. She has a history of reconstruction of the lower left eyelid with Hughes flap 5 year sago and later recurrence the following year with wedge excision. Currently, with a second recurrence, resection was performed under frozen section technique and the defect of 75% width free of tumor, is reconstructed in the same surgical act: the posterior lamella with a pedicled periosteal flap and the anterior with a Mustardé flap. One year follow-up, the patient evolves with good support and eyelid position, without recurrence of the tumor.

Impact of the type of anterior lamellar reconstruction on the success of modified Hughes procedure / Impacto do tipo de reconstrução lamelar anterior no sucesso do procedimento de Hughes modificado

ABSTRACT Purpose: To determine the long-term functional and cosmetic outcomes in patients who underwent modified Hughes procedure with different types of anterior lamellar reconstruction for lower eyelid defects. Methods: This study included 58 patients who had undergone a modified Hughes flap for reconstruction of lower eyelids after tumor excision within a 10-year period. Data regarding patient demographics, size of eyelid defect, tumor pathology, surgical techniques, functional and cosmetic outcomes, and complications were recorded. Postoperative complications were evaluated according to the type of anterior lamella reconstruction (i.e., advancement flap or free skin graft). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors affecting the success of the procedure. Results: The average size of the lower eyelid defect was 22 ± 6.3 mm (range: 11-30 mm). The anterior lamella was reconstructed with advancement flaps and full-thickness skin grafts in 36 (58.6%) and 24 (41.4%) patients, respectively. Mean follow-up time was 23.6 ± 11.9 months. Postoperative complications included trichiasis (three patients; 5.2%), ectropion (two patients; 3.0%), flap necrosis (one patient; 1.7%), flap dehiscence (one patient; 1.7%), infection (one patient; 1.7%), and eyelid margin erythema (one patient; 1.7%). The rates of complication and secondary surgery were similar among the different types of anterior lamellar reconstruction (p=768 and p=0.139, respectively). Success of the modified Hughes procedure was not significantly affected by any of the identified risk factors (p>0.05). Functional and cosmetic outcomes were 96.6% and 94.8%, respectively. Conclusion: Modified Hughes procedure is a safe and effective option for the reconstruction of small and large defects of the lower eyelid, regardless of the type of anterior lamella reconstruction (i.e., advancement flap or skin graft).

RESUMO Objetivo: Determinar os resultados funcionais e cosméticos a longo prazo de pacientes submetidos ao procedimento de Hughes modificado com diferentes tipos de reconstrução lamelar anterior para defeitos palpebrais inferiores. Métodos: Este estudo incluiu 58 pacientes que foram submetidos a um retalho de Hughes modificado para reconstrução das pálpebras inferiores após excisão do tumor durante um intervalo de 10 anos. Dados referentes à demografia dos pacientes, tamanho do defeito palpebral, patologia tumoral, técnicas cirúrgicas, resultados funcionais e cosméticos e complicações foram registrados. As complicações pós-operatórias foram avaliadas de acordo com o tipo de reconstrução da lamela anterior (ou seja, retalho de avanço ou enxerto de pele livre). A análise de regressão logística multivariada foi realizada para identificar os fatores de risco que afetam o sucesso do procedimento. Resultados: O tamanho médio do defeito da pálpebra inferior foi de 22 ± 6,3 mm (11-30 mm). A lamela anterior foi reconstruída com retalhos de avanço e enxertos de pele de espessura total em 36 (58,6%) e 24 (41,4%) pacientes, respectivamente. O tempo médio de acompanhamento foi de 23,6 ± 11,9 meses. Complicações pós-operatórias incluíram triquíase (três pacientes: 5,2%), ectrópio (dois pacientes: 3%), necrose de retalho (um paciente: 1,7%), deiscência de retalho (um paciente: 1,7%), infecção (um paciente: 1,7%) e eritema na margem palpebral (um paciente: 1,7%). As taxas de complicação e de cirurgia secundária foram semelhantes entre os diferentes tipos de reconstrução lamelar anterior (p=768 e p=0,139, respetivamente). O sucesso do procedimento de Hughes modificado não foi significativamente afetado por nenhum dos fatores de risco identificados (p>0,05). Resultados funcionais e cosméticos foram de 96,6% e 94,8%, respetivamente. Conclusão: O procedimento de Hughes modificado é uma opção segura e eficaz para a reconstrução de pequenos e grandes defeitos da pálpebra inferior, independentemente do tipo de reconstrução da lamela anterior (ou seja, retalho de avanço ou enxerto de pele).

Xantogranuloma juvenil gigante: acometimento palpebral difuso e simultâneo / Giant Juvenile Xanthogranuloma: diffuse and simultaneous palpebral involvement

O xantogranuloma juvenil (XGJ) é um tumor benigno e o mais comum do grupo das doenças histiocitárias proliferativas nãoLangerhans. Lesões; 2cm são consideradas XGJ gigantes, com relatos de lesões de até 18cm. Lesões oculopalpebrais podem necessitar de tratamento cirúrgico para controle de sintomas. Esse trabalho relata o caso de um menino de 8 anos que teve as 4 pálpebras acometidas por XGJ gigantes, além do terço médio. Ele foi submetido a 3 ressecções, sendo uma bastante profunda, necessitando enxerto de pele de espessura total diretamente sobre o músculo levantador da pálpebra superior. Posteriormente, 3 procedimentos de lipoenxertia foram realizados, atingindo resultado funcional e estético adequado, sem recorrência lesional.

Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is the most common benign tumor of the group of non-Langerhans histiocytic proliferative diseases. Lesions >2 cm are considered giant JXG, with reports of lesions of up to 18 cm. Oculopalpebral lesions may require surgical treatment to control symptoms. This study reports a case of an 8-year-old boy who had four eyelids and the middle third of the face affected by giant JXG. He underwent three resections, one of which was of great depth that required a full-thickness skin graft directly on the levator palpebrae superioris muscle. Subsequently, four fat-grafting procedures were performed and adequate functional and

Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo y retrospectivo de pacientes portadores de diferentes tumores palpebrales, atendidos en el Servicio de Cirugía Plástica Ocular del Instituto Cubano de Oftalmología "Ramón Pando Ferrer", en el periodo comprendido de enero a diciembre del año 2016, en el que se describieron las características clínicas y anatomopatológicas, y la concordancia entre ambos diagnósticos. Resultados: Predominó el grupo de 60-79 años de edad (46,1 por ciento), el sexo femenino (51,7 por ciento) y el color de piel blanco (92,6 por ciento) . Las lesiones se presentaron fundamentalmente en el párpado inferior (77,0 por ciento) y las telangectasias constituyeron el signo de malignidad más consistente (56,8 por ciento), con predominio del carcinoma basocelular, seguido del carcinoma espinocelular (81,4 por ciento y 15,2 por ciento, respectivamente). La concordancia entre el diagnóstico clínico y el histopatológico fue de 69,2 por ciento para el carcinoma basocelular; 9,7 por ciento para el espinocelular y 30 por ciento para el sebáceo (índice de Kappa de 0,338; 0,262 y 0,357, respectivamente). Conclusiones: Existe la mayor concordancia entre diagnóstico clínico e histopatológico en el carcinoma basocelular; no así en el resto de los tumores estudiados(AU)

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the concordance between the initial and histopathological clinical diagnosis of malignant palpebral tumors. Methods: An observational, descriptive and retrospective study of patients with different eyelid tumors was performed. The patients were treated in the Ocular Plastic Surgery Service of Ramón Pando Ferrer Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology, in the period from January to December of 2016, during which the clinical and pathological characteristics were described, together with the concordance between both diagnoses. Results: The age group of 60-79 years predominated (46.1 percent), as it was with the female sex (51.7 percent) and the white skin color (92.6 percent). The lesions occurred mainly in the lower eyelid (77.0 percent) and telangiectasia constituted the most consistent sign of malignancy (56.8 percent), with a predominance of basal cell carcinoma, followed by spinocellular carcinoma (81.4 percent and 15, 2 percent, respectively). The concordance between the clinical and histopathological diagnosis was 69.2 percent for basal cell carcinoma; 9.7 percent for the spinocellular carcinoma; and 30 percent for the sebaceous carcinoma (Kappa index of 0.388, 0.262 and 0.357, respectively). Conclusions: There is the greatest concordance between the clinical and histopathological diagnosis in basal cell carcinoma, but not in the rest of the tumors studied(AU)

Atypical presentation of fibroepithelial polyp: a report of two cases / Apresentação atípica de pólipo fibroepitelial: um relato de dois casos

ABSTRACT Fibroepithelial polyps are benign non-epithelial tumors arising from mesodermal tissue and are commonly found on the skin. They can develop on the eyelid and surrounding area and rarely appear at other sites. While most cutaneous cases are diagnosed incidentally, the lesions may be symptomatic based on their location. The etiology of fibroepithelial polyps is not fully understood but may involve trauma, chronic irritation, allergic factors, and developmental or congenital causes. Although fibroepithelial polyps are benign lesions, they can be malignant in extremely rare cases. Herein we discuss 2 cases of fibroepithelial polyp with an atypical presentation and their treatment.

RESUMO Pólipos fibroepiteliais são tumores benignos não-epiteliais que surgem do tecido mesodérmico e são comumente encontrados na pele. Eles podem se desenvolver na pálpebra e na área adjacente, e raramente aparecem em outros locais. Embora a maioria dos casos cutâneos seja diagnosticada incidentalmente, as lesões podem ser sintomáticas com base em sua localização. A etiologia dos pólipos fibroepiteliais não é completamente compreendida, mas pode envolver trauma, irritação crônica, fatores alérgicos e causas de desenvolvimento ou congênitas. Apesar dos pólipos fibroepiteliais serem lesões benignas, podem ser malignos em casos extremamente raros. Aqui discutimos 2 casos de pólipo fibroepitelial com uma apresentação atípica e seu tratamento.

Reconstrução de pálpebra inferior com uso do retalho de transposição da pálpebra superior de espessura total / Reconstruction of the lower eyelid using a full-thickness upper eyelid transposition flap

Introdução: O melhor método para reconstruir uma unidade anatômica é substituir a área lesada pelos mesmos tecidos. Métodos: Três pacientes que apresentavam carcinomas basocelulares na pálpebra inferior foram submetidos à excisão, seguida de reconstrução imediata com a transposição em espessura total de tecido da pálpebra superior em um só tempo. Resultados: Os pacientes evoluíram quase sem complicações, as pálpebras mantiveram suas funções de fechamento total e proteção do globo ocular. Conclusão: O retalho se mostrou factível e é mais uma alternativa para reconstruir a pálpebra inferior.

Introduction: The best method to reconstruct an anatomical unit is to replace the injured area with the same tissues. Methods: Three patients with basal cell carcinoma in the lower eyelid underwent full-thickness lower eyelid excision, followed by immediate reconstruction with a single-stage fullthickness transposition of the upper eyelid tissue. Results: The patients had almost no complications, and the functions of total closure and protection of the eyeballs of the eyelids were maintained. Conclusion: The flap proved to be feasible and is an alternative choice for reconstruction of the lower eyelid.

Non-surgical therapeutic options, such as imiquimod, have been suggested, as well as different variants in surgical management and required margins. In the case described, it was chosen to manage with conservative margins, preserving, the functionality of the area.

Estudo comparativo entre imagens de câmera fotográfica convencional e smartphone para o telediagnóstico de tumores palpebrais / Comparative study between conventional camera images and smartphone images for eyelid tumor telediagnosis

RESUMO Objetivo: comparar a acurácia do diagnóstico de tumor palpebral por avaliação de fotos obtidas por câmera convencional versus câmera acoplada em smartphone. Métodos: trinta e seis pacientes foram submetidos a exame externo e exame biomicroscópico para estabelecimento de diagnóstico clínico. As lesões foram fotografadas com câmera convencional Canon SX530 HS, digital de 16,8 megapixels e com câmera do smartphone modelo GALAXY S4. Todas as lesões foram ressecadas e submetidas a exame anatomopatológico. As imagens pré-operatórias foram analisadas à distância por dois especialistas em doenças palpebrais. Os dados dos diagnósticos presencial e dos teleavaliadores foram confrontados com o padrão ouro do diagnóstico histológico. Resultados: as lesões mais frequentes foram constituídas por carcinoma basocelular (33,3%), queratose actínica (19,4%) e nevo (13,9%). O coeficiente de Kappa para diagnóstico de lesão maligna mostrou concordância entre os teleavaliadores nas imagens por câmera (0,68) e com smartphone (0,78). A acurácia do examinador presencial foi de 94,4%, a dos teleavaliadores nas imagens por câmera foi de 83,3% e as do smartphone variou entre 80,6% e 86,1%. Não houve diferença nos índices de acerto por uso de câmera ou smartphone quando comparado com o exame presencial. Conclusão: imagens obtidas por smartphone foram equiparáveis em relação à câmera convencional para uso em telemedicina para diagnóstico de lesão maligna palpebral.

ABSTRACT Objective: to compare the accuracy of eyelid tumor diagnosis obtained by evaluating conventional camera images with the ones obtained by evaluating smartphone images. Methods: from January 2016 to July 2017, 36 patients underwent face-to-face external assessments and biomicroscopic examinations to establish clinical diagnoses. The lesions were photographed using Canon PowerShot SX530 HS Digital Camera (16.8 Megapixels) and Samsung GALAXY S4 smartphone camera. All lesions were resected and submitted to anatomopathological examinations. Preoperative images were sent to two specialists in eyelid diseases and then remotely analyzed. Data from in-person diagnoses and telediagnoses were compared with the gold standard of histological diagnosis. Results: the most frequent lesions were basal cell carcinoma (33.3%), actinic keratosis (19.4%), and nevus (13.9%). Kappa coefficient for the diagnosis of malignant lesion showed agreement between the two tele-evaluators in the conventional digital camera images (0.68) and in the smartphone images (0.78). The face-to-face examiner's accuracy was of 94.4%; the tele-evaluators' accuracy in the conventional digital camera images was of 83.3% and in the smartphone images varied from 80.6% to 86.1%. Comparing the in-person diagnoses with the telediagnoses (obtained by evaluating conventional digital camera images or smartphone images), there was no significant difference in the hit rates. Conclusion: for eyelid tumor telediagnosis, images obtained using smartphone camera were equivalent to those obtained using conventional digital camera.

Upper eyelid Merkel cell carcinoma treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgical excision

Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare cutaneous carcinoma, featured by an aggressive clinical course and a mortality rate of 28% at 2 years. A 71-year-old female was affected by a 4.1-cm-wide locally advanced Merkel cell carcinoma of the upper eyelid, previously misdiagnosed as chalazion, with involvement of the extraocular muscles. Although the tumor showed a macroscopic spontaneous regression in size after the incisional biopsy, the mass was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgical excision. Good functional and aesthetic result with preservation of the eyeball and absence of tumor recurrence were achieved at 3-year follow-up. In our experience, the combination of the inflammatory cascade due to the incisional biopsy and neoadjuvant chemotherapy led to the regression of a locally advanced large Merkel cell carcinoma of the eyelid.
