Rhinophyma is the advanced stage of acne rosacea and a source of embarrassment for the patient. Secondary localized cutaneous amyloidosis complicating rhinophyma is not reported in the literature. A patient with rhinophyma was treated by excision and primary closure. The histologic examination showed amyloidosis.

OBJECTIVES: The restoration of an intact covering is the primary surgical requisite following trauma of the lower extremity because deep healing can be no better than the surface covering. The present article is about our experience of lower limb reconstruction using fasciocutaneous flaps. METHODS: 20 fasciocutaneous flaps in 15 males and 5 females were used for the wound / defect of lower limbs following trauma. RESULTS: Fasciocutaneous flaps provided stable wound cover in 20 patients for leg wound / defect. 2 patients developed wound infection, 2 developed partial graft loss and 1 patient had partial flap necrosis. CONCLUSION: In the armamentarium of lower limb reconstruction fasciocutaneous flaps remains one of the useful methods of skin cover for leg wound/defects.

Three hundred and nine children of burns injuries treated over last 10 years (1989-1998) in Kasturba Hospital, Manipal (India) were studied retrospectively and were analysed for incidence, severity, extent, causes, risk factors and overall mortality. Children of age < 5 years were affected more than children of age > 5 years (76.1 vs. 23.9%). Females were affected more than males (74.1 vs. 25.9%). Most of the children received burn injuries in the range of 0 to 20% BSA (63.1%). Scald (72.5%) followed by flame (22.7%) and electrical burn (3.2%) were most common cause of burn injuries. Overall paediatric burn mortality was 7.4%.
