Article Abstract
Objective: To present a case of keratinized lesion of the upper palpebral conjunctiva in a patient without prior ocular or systemic history.
Methodology: A case of keratinized lesion located at the upper palpebral conjunctiva in a 21-year-old female patient was managed at the Department of Ophthalmology of the University Hospital of Heraklion. Comprehensive clinical assessments, surgical excision, histopathological examinations, and relevant investigations were conducted to characterize the lesion and identify clinical and histological features. The patient was followed up for 12 months postoperatively.
Results: Major presenting symptoms were ocular discomfort and conjunctival hyperemia. Histopathological examination was compatible with a cystic lesion with trichilemmal keratinization. No recurrence was observed during the follow-up period. Conclusions: Focal keratinization of diverse pathogenetic origin and histological appearance at the epithelium of the upper palpebral conjunctiva can be found in young patients without a previous history of trauma, surgery, or inflammation.

Facial feminization surgery (FFS) reshapes masculine facial attributes to align with feminine norms, yet normative anthropometric data for Asian populations remain sparse. We therefore quantified sex-related 3-dimensional (3D) facial metrics in healthy Asian adults to delineate dimorphic benchmarks for surgical planning. We prospectively recruited 40 healthy Asian adults (20 males, 20 females; age 18 to 45 years, mean 28.

Purpose: To objectively quantify, in East Asians and Caucasians, the width and distribution of the retro-orbicularis oculi and frontalis fat (ROOF) pad, subcutaneous fat, and orbicularis oculi muscle (OOM) at the superior orbital rim margin as well as 5 mm superior and inferior to this point.
Methods: Thirty adults were studied by high-resolution, surface coil MRI. In the quasi-sagittal image through the globe center, the ROOF, subcutaneous fat, and OOM thickness were measured anterior to the orbital septum, at 3 points: at the superior orbital rim, and 5 mm superior, and 5 mm inferior to the rim.

Periorbital defects resulting from oncologic resections, trauma, or congenital malformations pose a complex reconstructive challenge, due to the need to simultaneously restore eyelid function and facial esthetics. We present the case of a male patient in his seventh decade of life with a right orbitomalar squamous cell carcinoma, who underwent a wide oncologic resection involving the upper and lower eyelids, as well as the malar and infraorbital regions. Reconstruction was performed using a radial free forearm flap from the left arm, including the palmaris longus tendon, which was strategically anchored to the medial canthus and orbital rim to provide dynamic eyelid support.
