Abstract

A 60-year-old man presented with Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma (MFH) of the oropharnx extending to nasopharynx and larynx, and causing severe upper airway obstruction requiring emergency tracheotomy. Ten years previously, this patient had undergone right partial glossectomy and segmental mandibulectomy, followed by 50 Gy radiation in 33 sessions for squamous cell carcinoma of the right tongue base. This MFH tumor was so aggressive that changes in its volume were visually distinguishable during physical examination over a two-week hospital stay. Histological evaluation revealed 7 mitotic figures per high power field. Although radiation-induced MFH is rare in the head and neck, recent medical literature reports a rise in its incidence. This has been attributed to increased effectiveness of head and neck cancer therapy, prolonging patients’ survival. Since MFH is a late complication of irradiation therapy appearing at an average of 10 years following treatment, it is important for physicians treating head and neck cancer to be alert for this long-term post radiation complication and to continue following patients ever after apparent “cure” of their head and neck neoplasm.

LOWER LID AGING

Midfacial aging becomes noticeable in the later third and early fourth decade. Isolated hereditary lower eyelid fat prolapse can occur much earlier. The lower eyelid complex blends seamlessly with the midface and lower eyelid rejuvenation comprehensively includes midfacial and or nasojugal augmentation.

Lower eyelid aging changes are consistent and similar to upper eyelid aging. Dermatochalasia from aging and actinic damage is manifested by excess and "crinkly" lower eyelid skin. This skin is among the thinnest in the body and can be 0.2 mm thick, making it very susceptible to aging changes. As with the upper lids, the lower orbital septum weakens with age and allows prolapse or protrusion of the three lower fat pads. This in itself produces sausage shaped fat that makes patients look older and tired. The actual protruding fat can cast shadows (especially in overhead light) along the inferior orbital rim, which compounds the old and tired look. Compounding the dark circle look are true color changes from actinic or hereditary pigmentation or hemosiderin leakage. The aging changes in skin, fat, muscle and connective tissues produces an accentuated nasojugal groove producing the teartrough deformity. Suspensory laxity changes the position of the canthi and can produce canthal rounding, ectropion and scleral show.
