Bilateral pseudocysts of the auricle have been described in a 20-year-old Puerto Rican female. No definite etiology has been established for this clinical entity at the present time. Biopsy of the anterior wall of the cyst from our patient showed histologic characteristics similar to those described by Engel.! Combined technique using curettage, painting the inner surface of the cyst wall with 1% tincture of iodine and application of contour pressure dressings for several days resulted in uneventful healing in two weeks and restoration of the normal appearance of the auricles.
Haemangiomas of the head and neck are mainly cutaneous or mucosal; rarely, they may be found in bone or soft tissue. Haemangiomas of lymph nodes are extremely rare; here we present such a case in a cervical lymph node. This is, to the best of our knowledge, only the second report of such an entity.
A literature review of the results for adult and pediatric groups will be given. A case report of a 23-year-old man with congenital ptosis will be used to illustrate the correction of severe blepharophimosis-ptosis with fascia lata strips. Intraoperative technique for suspension and adjustment will be discussed.In conclusion, levator ptosis is a surgically correctable condition. Surgical suspension to the frontalis muscle is the procedure of choice.
