Our study showed that the SmartLipo appeared to be histologically effective for destruction of human fat tissue.

Kimura’s disease is a benign chronic granulomatous disease which presents as a subcutaneous swelling in the head and neck area. The histopathological feature consists of granuloma-forming lymphoid follicles with eosinophil infiltration. Kimura’s disease of the larynx is very rare, and only a few cases have been reported. We report a 14-year-old boy who presented with sleep apnea. Laryngological study revealed a submucosal swelling of the bilateral false vocal cord. Histopathological examination showed lymphoid hyperplasia with marked infiltration of eosinophils, which was diagnosed as Kimura’s disease. After laser surgery, he had recurrent swelling of the false cord. The patient was given 30 mg of prednisolone, which was gradually tapered. The laryngeal swelling resolved, and the sleep apnea immediately improved after the treatment. However, a low dose of prednisolone was necessary to maintain the remission. Oral administration of pranlukast successfully supported the tapering of prednisolone.

Summary:Conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arising from an anophthalmic socket is quite rare, with few reports in the English literature. A 59-year-old man who had used an ocular prosthesis for 40 years had not removed the ocular prosthesis at all during the last 5 years. He had developed a mass on his entire right upper eyelid, and biopsy revealed a moderately differentiated SCC. Orbital exenteration including the upper and lower eyelid skin was performed. The defect was reconstructed with a free forearm flap followed by the placement of a facial epithesis. The pathology revealed an intraepithelial carcinoma on the upper palpebral conjunctiva, which seemed to infiltrate exclusively from that site to the upper eyelid and into the orbit. Other risk factors were not detected; therefore, chronic irritation or microtrauma of the upper conjunctiva from the prosthesis due to persistent prosthesis placement could have been the main trigger for the development of SCC. In cases where the ocular prosthesis is not fitted properly or removed appropriately, clinicians should be aware of this possible long-term consequence.
