The clinicopathologic case of a 53-year-old female patient with an abnormal tumor growing on the mucous part of the superior right eyelid is reported. The patient was operated on for ten years ago and a whitish mass slowly developed on the conjunctival face of the eyelid disturbing the use of corneal lenses. It was hard, painless and had the shape of a flat mushroom. The removal was performed under local anesthesia and allowed us to resect a hard and fibrous lesion. Histopathology showed that the lesion was made of a fibrous tissue organized like a hypertrophic scar. Surgical treatment of chalazion is frequent and rarely gives rise to abnormal scarring.

Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Korea University College of Medicine, Korea University Anam Hospital, Seoul, South Korea.
Xanthelasma palpebrarum (XP), characterized by soft, yellowish plaque primarily on the eyelids, is often associated with lipid metabolism disorders. XP can cause aesthetic concerns that affect social interactions and requires careful treatment evaluations due to potential complications and associations with systemic conditions. We aimed to assess the efficacy of and recurrence rates with erbium:yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser therapy in the treatment of XP.

Department of Plastic and Aesthetic (Burn) Surgery, Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, 410011, China.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the long-term effects of double eyelid tapes (DET) on eyelid structure and outcomes of surgeries, using a sample of 267 outpatients over two years.
- - Out of surveyed participants, many reported discomfort and permanent changes to eyelid shape due to DET use, with significant complications like asymmetry and scars observed only in DET users.
- - Histological analysis showed DET users had increased collagen levels and different skin structures compared to non-users, raising concerns about the implications for eyelid surgeries.
Comparison of Normal Human Skin and Hypertrophic Scar Tissue Samples of Different Ages, Locations, and Stages of Maturity.
Ann Plast Surg
October 2024
Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery, Shandong Provincial Hospital, Jinan, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the differences between normal skin (NS) and hypertrophic scars (HTS) across various ages, locations, and maturities to better understand scar severity and treatment options.
- Methods like histology and immunofluorescence were used to analyze the skin's structure and cellular activity in 7 patients, revealing important changes in skin composition due to aging and scarring.
- Key findings show that while NS thickness varies with age and location, HTS exhibits notable differences in inflammation and tissue composition, particularly in collagen and blood vessel formation, which could inform future treatments for scarring.
Experimental Study of Ultra-Pulsed CO 2 Fractional Laser Combined With Recombinant Human Epidermal Growth Factor Gel in the Treatment of Eyelid Keloid.

State Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University.
Article Synopsis
- The review investigates the effectiveness of using ultra-pulsed CO2 fractional laser therapy combined with recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rHEGF) gel in treating keloids on the eyelids.
- A total of 98 patients who underwent surgery were divided into two groups, one receiving the combination treatment and the other only laser therapy; after dropouts, 47 and 46 cases were analyzed.
- Results showed that while no significant differences were detected in baseline characteristics between groups, the combination treatment significantly improved scar assessment scores compared to laser therapy alone.
