An 85-year-old lady presented with a severe cicatricial ectropion several months after a fall. The abnormality was corrected with a procedure that involved the use of a retroauricular skin graft. This provided resolution of her ocular symptoms. Several months later, she had noted significant hair growth on the graft, but elected for this to be managed conservatively. Careful harvesting of the graft from the non-hairy area between the ear and the hairline is essential to prevent unwanted transplantation of terminal hairs. Surgical success is also dependent on the final aesthetic outcome.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of acellular fish skin grafts for repairing skin defects in the periocular area following Mohs surgery for skin cancers, specifically basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
- A retrospective analysis of six patients (average age 60.8) reveals that the grafts were successfully used on various facial regions, with good healing outcomes and minimal complications.
- The findings suggest that acellular fish skin grafts could be a viable alternative to traditional skin grafting methods, reducing the need for donors and surgical site harvesting.

Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is a rare dermatological condition which may present with ocular manifestations. We report a case of recurrent cicatricial ectropion (CE) with topical beta-blocker use in the rare dermatological condition PRP. The patient underwent release of scar tissue, lateral tarsal strip and full-thickness supraclavicular skin graft for CE following immunosuppression with methotrexate for 3 months.
