Gynecomastia is a proliferation of glandular tissue of the breast in male and it is the most commonly observed breast disease amongst male patients associated with the negative impact on body image and social health of man. Although the medical therapy is an option with long-standing gynecomastia patients, the less than desirable effectiveness leads to the surgery. Although various techniques have been described for the correction of gynecomastia, the common technique of surgery has been performed with a circumareolar incision. However, this technique has been associated with undesirable complications such as a visible scar on the chest, areola inversion, and nipple necrosis. To remedy such complications, the transaxillary techniques were used in an attempt to avoid scar and the complication of the nipple areola complex. In this study, the surgery for the two patients with Simon’s grade III gynecomastia were performed using the pull-through technique and through the axillary incision. The result of the transaxillary subcutaneous mastectomy technique produced esthetic appearance with little complications.

Crystalline retinopathy is a tapetoretinal degeneration characterized by glistening yellow intraretinal crystals in the posterior pole, chorioidal sclerosis, and corneal crystalline dystrophy. We have recently encountered a 36 year-old female patient with bilateral intraretinal crystalline depositions who presented with a complaint of visual disturbance in her right eye for the last six months. Typical fundus findings of crystalline deposition in the posterior pole, tapetoretinal dysfunctions in the electrophysiologic tests and choriocapillaris filling defects in the fluorescein angiogram suggest that this the disorder is a widespread choriocapillaris and tapetoretinal disorder. There are no significant abnormal findings in serologic and radiologic examinations.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the periodontal and prosthodontic complications of multiple freestanding implants in the posterior jaws for up to 1 year of function. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Eight patients received 20 implants posterior to canines. Two or more implants were consecutively inserted to each patient. Single crowns were delivered onto the implants. Marginal bone loss, implant mobility, probing depth, and screw loosening were examined to evaluate the clinical success of such restorations for maximum 1 year of functional loading. RESULTS: All the implants performed well during the observation period. Neither periodontal nor prosthodontic complications were found except a slight porcelain chipping. While the marginal bone level was on average 0.09 mm lower around the implant after 6 months of loading, it was 0.15 mm higher after 1 year. CONCLUSION: Within the limits of this investigation, separate single-tooth implant restorations to replace consecutive missing teeth may clinically function well in the posterior jaw.

A lipomatous tumor originating in the uterus is a rare benign neoplasm, and most reported cases have been of the mixed type. Authenticated cases of pure lipomas of the uterus are extremely rare. We report one such case in which the findings of magnetic resonance imaging provided the basis for preoperative diagnosis.
