Breast contour deformities, lack of volume and asymmetry are common confronted problems after breast augmentation with implants. These problems can be corrected by using temporary fillers or autologous fat grafts. The purpose of this study was to introduce our experience using long lasting temporary filler (Aquafilling(R)) for the correction of unfavorable results after breast augmentation with silicone implants. Two non-pregnant, non-breastfeeding women unsatisfied with previous breast augmentation with silicone implants were recruited for this study. All procedures were performed under local anesthesia with sedation. Efficacy and safety assessments were carried out at follow-up visits (1, 3, and 6 months). The study showed that Aquafilling(R) could provide satisfactory improvement in breast shape and volume. Also it showed that the corrected volume and shape were lasting without affecting the breasts' original volume. Patients reported high satisfaction as Aquafilling(R) was generally well tolerated with no inflammatory reactions or serious adverse events. We recommend that Aquafilling(R) as a new option for the correction of minor problems after breast augmentation surgery with implants. However, further follow-up studies are required to observe long-term results.

PURPOSE: Liposarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma, and usually occurs on the thigh or in the retroperitoneal space, but rarely in the oral region. This report presents a case of liposarcoma of the cheek and includes a review of the literatures. METHODS: A 21-year-old woman was admitted with a palpable mass in her cheek of about two years duration, which increased in size gradually initially, but had increased rapidly over the three months. There was no particular pain or tenderness. MRI showed a well-enhanced, well-defined mass, which suspected to be hemangioma. RESULTS: The spherical, well-encapsulated mass was surgically excised. Biopsy results revealed myxoid liposarcoma. FDG PET-CT on the seventh postoperative day, revealed a minimal to mild FDG-uptake soft tissue lesion around the mass defect area without evidence of distant metastasis. The patient is being observed and undergoing radiation therapy. CONCLUSION: Liposarcoma in the head and neck region is a rare disease, and can be overlooked as a benign tumor without a pathologic diagnosis. Therefore, proper treatment and follow-up are required based on an understanding of this disease.

Dual ectopic thyroid is an uncommon entity and seven cases have been reported in the literature. Clinically, most cases in ectopic thyroid were noted at adolescence or postpartum due to increased physiologic hormonal demands. The sublingual area is the most common site of ectopic thyroid tissue, accounting for 90% of the cases, followed by the area in high cervical thyroid. Clinical manifestation, thyroid function test, and radiologic imaging should be employed for making diagnosis and therapeutic plan of this disease. The primary therapeutic goal is to restore the thyroid function. We describe a patient with dual ectopic thyroid tissue in the sublingual and subhyoid area.

PURPOSE: An osteoma is one of the common benign tumors that penetrate the nasal portion, paranasal and frontal sinus. This tumor is mostly found by radiation test accidentally, however in rare cases; it can be found to be touched or with its symptoms as the tumor grows. We report this case since we found and healed the benign tumor which was affecting orbit and the both sides of fronal sinus. METHODS: A 19 year old female patient visited to our hospital due to the mass on her forehead. The symptoms began 3 years ago but no special symptom was found except for touchable mass. She was diagnosed as the osteoma of superior orbital parts and both sides of frontal sinus using X-ray and CT scanning. The size of osteoma was 5x2.5x3.5cm and indicated the patterns penetrated to the right side of orbital region. The osteoma excision was conducted with coronal incision and wide area of defect part in frontal sinus and superior orbital part were reconstructed by cranial bone graft and resorbable fixation plates. RESULTS: The patient recovered without any postoperative infections or complications and symptoms. Dysaesthesia was found on her frontal area but improved in 1 month after the surgery. CONCLUSION: The occurrences of osteoma in frontal sinus are rare and can be treated with conservative methods if there are no infections and symptoms. We report this case since we found the benign tumor, which was affecting orbit and the both sides of fronal sinus and healed it with coronal resectomy without any complications.

Cornelia de Lange syndrome was first described by Brachmann in 1916 and later reported by Cornelia de Lange in 1933. It is a rare malformation and retardation syndrome of unknown causes, with characteristic abnormalities including microcephaly, short stature, heavy eyebrows, long eyelashs, strabismus, small nose with anteverted nares, long philtrum, micrognathia, hypoplastic nipples and umbilicus, flexion contracture of elbows, micromelia and hirsutism. Rare cases of possible autosomal-recessive and autosomal-dominant inheritance have been reported. Severe growth and mental retardation are common. Aspiration, apnea, bowel obstruction, and cardiac defects constitute significant dangers during infancy. Failure to thrive is the rule. Also they have common anomaly of upper & lower extremity, example of proximally placed thumbs, clinodactyly of the fifth finger and syndactyly of the second and third toes. We present a case of Cornelia de Lange syndrome, associated with syndactyly of the great toes and the second toes.
