    Notes: Abstract We conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the diagnosability of breast tumors after breast reductions as this is a frequent surgical procedure. The data should shed light on the hypothesis that routine screening methods concerning the diagnosis of breast tumors prove more difficult after breast operations. All women who had undergone breast reduction at our department between January 1989 and December 1994 were examined. During this period we counted 166 patients; the majority of them (n = 144) had undergone a bilateral breast reduction and the rest of them (n = 22) a unilateral breast reduction for various reasons. After the operation, all patients were checked in standardized intervals. Those who developed any kind of breast mass (n = 6) were recorded and examined by ultrasound and mammography, and occasionally by an additional fine-needle biopsy. In case any doubt about the dignity had remained, an excisional biopsy was carried out. In none of our patients was it possible to get a precise diagnosis of an ill-defined mass with ultrasound. With mammography, some of the existing masses, which were really scars, mimicked different kinds of tumors, and once a carcinoma was initially interpreted as scar tissue with oil cysts. The diagnosis of breast masses after breast reductions with routinely used screening methods has proved to be more difficult as breast reductions lead to architectural alterations of the remaining breast parenchyma. Such alterations can and should be documented shortly after the operation so that later occurring tumors are distinguished more easily. Therefore, a basic mammography 3 months after each breast reduction has to be claimed in order to facilitate further breast tumor diagnosis.

    Notes: Abstract A case in which a growing cystic mass developed in the submandibular area, 6 months following fat injection to the cheek and mandibular area, is described. Histological examination revealed a liponecrotic pseudocyst. It is suggested that subcutaneous masses appearing in an area, which was previously injected with fat, should be excised. Diagnostic aspiration procedures may cause leakage of its oily content and possible further granulomatotic reactions and cysts.

    Notes: Abstract In this study, we showed both macroscopically and microscopically the viability of the autotransplanted fat placed intramuscularly in long-term follow-up. The study was performed on 120 Wistar rats during a 12-month period. The fat grafts were obtained from either the inguinal region or preurinary bladder cavity. Rats were divided into six groups. In group 1, the fat was injected in thin rolls in the frontal subcutaneous layer. In group 2, the fat was injected in thin rolls in the gluteus superficialis, biceps femoris, gastrocnemius, and semitendinosus muscles. In group 3, 6 mm × 2 mm fat strips were placed subcutaneously in the frontal region. In group 4, the same dimension of fat strips were placed in the gluteus superficialis and biceps femoris muscles. In group 5, large cystic spaces of fat were injected subcutaneously in the frontal region, and in group 6, large cystic spaces of fat were injected intramuscularly. Rats at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after fat grafting were sacrificed in order to carry out the macroscopic observations. The results showed clinical and microscopic success in groups 2 and 4, and problems and failure with the remaining groups.
