Epidermal nevi typically present as a single benign lesion. However, ...
CLOVES syndrome in a six-month-old infant: The importance of cutaneous findings
Alves,Francisca; Morgado,Francisca; Sousa,Sérgio; Ramos,LeonorAbstract CLOVES syndrome is a rare overgrowth syndrome caused by an activating somatic mutation in the PIK3CA gene.

Do not ignore multiple capillary malformations in a child
Calvão,Joana; Maia-Almeida,Pedro; Ramos,LeonorAbstract Capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation syndrome (CM-AVM) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by heterozygous mutations in RASA1 and EPHB4 that associates multifocal capillary malformations (CMs) with an increased risk for fast-flow vascular malformations (FFVMs) which can cause life-threatening complications. We report the case of a 6-year-old girl with lip telangiectasia as well as...

Lower lip reconstruction with nasolabial flap - going back to basics
Coutinho,Inês; Ramos,Leonor; Gameiro,Ana Rita; Vieira,Ricardo; Figueiredo,AméricoAbstract Squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip is frequent, and radical excision sometimes leads to complex defects. Many lip repair techniques are aggressive requiring general anesthesia and a prolonged post-operative period. The nasolabial flap, while a common flap for the repair of other facial defects, is an under-recognized option for the reconstruction of the lower lip. We describe the use of nasolabia...
