A Modified Dual-plane Technique Using the Serratus Anterior Fascia in Primary Breast Augmentation.

Background: Breast augmentations are commonly performed aesthetic surgical procedures. As the breast is a changeable structure, the ideal location of an implant would be a plane that can adjust to the dynamic changes of the breast. We present a modified dual-plane technique for breast augmentation using the fascia for thin patients.

Multiple huge epidermal inclusion cysts mistaken as neurofibromatosis.

Epidermal inclusion cyst is one of the common benign soft tissue tumors, and it can be easily confirmed and treated by surgical excision. We experienced a patient who had multiple masses on the face and scalp region, and the masses had been misdiagnosed as neurofibromatosis because of accompanying mental retardation. We would like to introduce a case of clinical diagnosis error caused by the lack of radiologic evaluation and pathologic confirmation.

Correction of facial linear scleroderma 'coup de sabre' with BoneSource.

Linear scleroderma is a subtype of localised scleroderma. When linear scleroderma occurs on the anterior portion of the scalp and forehead, it may assume an ivory-like, depressed configuration similar to the stroke of a sabre and called 'coup de sabre'. Atrophic changes affect subcutaneous tissue and skin, with later involvement of the muscles and osteocartilaginous framework.
