A 55-year-old Chinese man presented with an asymptomatic pedunculated elevation on his left lower eyelid which had been gradually increasing in size during the past three years. The patient was diagnosed with eyelid papilloma by pathological examination. Concomitantly, the patient developed open comedones with a bilateral linear distribution, along with oblique wrinkle lines in his infraorbital regions. These lesions were noninflammatory and remained unchanged for two years. To the best of our knowledge, this distribution of open comedones, especially in combination with eyelid papilloma, has not been reported previously in Favre-Racouchot syndrome.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of Demodex mites in the development of eyelid papillomas, focusing on how their presence may influence the tumor's histomorphological characteristics.
- Histomorphological examinations revealed demodectic infection indicators, such as cystic formations and remnants of the mite, in nearly half of the analyzed cases, found within tumor tissues and surrounding structures.
- The findings suggest that these cavity defects created by mite activity may serve as indicators of Demodex infestation, with implications for understanding their impact on various eyelid tumors, including keratoacanthomas and senile keratosis.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess a minimally invasive surgical technique that combines endoscopic and eyelid crease approaches for treating recurrent sino-orbital mucoceles, in collaboration with oculoplastic and sinus surgeons.
- Review of 18 cases revealed that most patients had prior sinus or orbital surgeries, with complications such as cellulitis and proptosis, but only two cases (11%) of recurrence after an average follow-up of 19 months.
- The findings suggest that this surgical method is effective for advanced sino-orbital conditions, offering low recurrence rates and minimal complications.
A Rare Case of Hidradenoma Papilliferum of the Vulva.

Apollo Hospital, Navi Mumbai, India.
Article Synopsis
- - Hidradenoma Papilliferum is a rare but benign tumor found predominantly in the anogenital region of women aged 30-49, although it can also appear in atypical locations like the breast, ears, and eyelids, known as Ectopic Hidradenoma Papilliferum.
- - The tumor arises from apocrine or mammary-like glands and is characterized by a firm nodule with no connection to the skin's surface, often described as having a flesh to red color and a frond-like structure upon examination.
- - A case study highlights a 33-year-old woman who experienced a slow-growing nodule in her perineum for eight months; a biopsy confirmed the diagnosis

Article Synopsis
- Three cases of serious corneal complications arose after relatively minor eyelid surgeries, highlighting the potential risks involved in oculoplastic procedures.
- A 46-year-old man experienced corneal perforation, a 51-year-old woman had accidental corneal coagulation, and a 55-year-old woman suffered severe corneal thinning and visual loss post-surgery, but none required corneal transplantation.
- Although rare, these complications can significantly affect vision and quality of life, emphasizing the need for diligent postoperative care and monitoring for any vision changes.
