Capillary hemangioma is a benign tumor comprised of endothelial cells, common in childhood, which frequently disappears on its own. Port-wine stains are vascular malformations caused by capillary dilatation, initially characterized by macules with colors ranging from rose to violaceous red. Present at birth, they are usually permanent, and can thicken and cause deformities. Many treatments have been proposed: cryotherapy, surgery, corticotherapy, radiotherapy, and laser therapy. However, such treatments involve technical difficulties, high costs, complications, or unaesthetic results.This study proposes a new, easy to perform and cost effective association of techniques: percutaneous cerclage and radiofrequency electrosurgery for the treatment of hypertrophic lesions of vascular origin.

Basal cell carcinomas are the most common type of skin cancer. Recurring basal cell carcinomas have lower cure rates than the primary tumors. Recurring tumors are usually treated with re-excision using micrographic surgery or by controlling the margins through freezing. A case of recurring basal cell carcinoma with large dimensions is reported. After total exeresis and correction using a rotation flap and total skin graft, the area developed eclabium, an unattractive complication that was corrected in a second surgery using a Limberg flap. This study presents an alternative correction for eclabium, and emphasizes the importance of training dermatologic surgeons how to resolve complications.
