Calciphylaxis is a rare condition characterised by painful necroses due to microvascular calcifications. It primarily affects individuals with end-stage renal disease and affected calcium-phosphate metabolism. This is a case report of a 55-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease who developed a necrotic ulcer at the breast due to calciphylaxis.

[Breast reconstruction with a breast-sharing technique].

Many techniques have been described for breast reconstruction after mastectomy, and in many cases a significant reduction of the contralateral breast is needed for symmetry. This is a case report of a single-stage secondary breast reconstruction after mastectomy using the excided tissue from the contralateral reduced breast based on the perforant vessels of the internal thoracic artery. We used this technique in a 62-year-old woman with a hypertrophic contralateral breast, who had undergone mastectomy due to breast cancer.

[Hygroma following liposuction and -grafting in the gluteal area].

This case report is of a 24-year-old woman, who was referred to an orthopaedic department with sarcoma in her left thigh. Further investigations revealed, that she had previously undergone an autologous lipografting from her thighs to her gluteal area, and she had developed widespread, severe hygroma formation as a late complication to the procedure. The complication rate to liposuction and -grafting varies 7-10% with seroma being the most abundant.

[Dacryocystitis in a three-week-old girl].

Dacryocystocele is a rare disease, which can be difficult to distinguish from haemangioma, dermoid cyst or encephalocele. Proper diagnosis and treatment is important as the risk of complications is high. A newborn baby with dacryocystitis was referred to a department of plastic surgery with a bluish tumour in the medial corner of the eye.

Sentinel Lymph Node Dissection in Locally Recurrent Breast Cancer.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the use of sentinel lymph node dissection (SLND) in the treatment of patients with locally recurrent breast cancer.

Methods: A total of 147 patients with locally recurrent breast cancer were included from five different breast surgery departments in Denmark. Data on previous breast and axillary surgery, adjuvant treatment, second operation in the breast and axilla, and lymphoscintigraphy were collected retrospectively from the original patient files.
