Titanium mesh in reconstructive surgery of the nasal pyramid. Follow-up of our 11 initial cases.

Background: Titanium mesh has been employed in neurosurgery, plastic surgery, and maxillofacial surgery as a bone replacement in diverse conditions. We first reported on its use as a substitute for osteocartilaginous nasal structure with satisfactory functional and aesthetic results in 2009.

Frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris in HLA-identical mother and daughter.

Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a lymphocyte-mediated scarring alopecia thought to be a variant of lichen planopilaris (LPP). We present a 67-year-old woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia whose daughter was diagnosed to have lichen planopilaris. Both patients had identical human leukocyte antigen (HLA) D types, supporting a phenotypical relationship between the two clinical entities.

Reconstruction of full-thickness defect of the alar rim with a combined advancement chondro-mucous and bilobed myocutaneous flap.
