La reconstrucción del párpado inferior sigue siendo un reto, especialmente la reparación de defectos que abarcan más de la mitad de su superficie horizontal. El colgajo de Hughes del párpado superior ipsilateral es la técnica quirúrgica de elección para los tumores de gran tamaño del párpado inferior. Presentamos el caso de una paciente con carcinoma basocelular superficial de párpado inferior izquierdo que fue intervenida con extirpación del tumor con margen de seguridad y reparación del defecto primario mediante este colgajo. Describimos la técnica de Hughes paso a paso, sus potenciales complicaciones, así como los puntos clave en su ejecución para conseguir unos resultados satisfactorios., Lower eyelid reconstrution remains a challenge, especially the repair of defects that cover more than a half of its horizontal surface. The Hughes flap of the ipsilateral upper eyelid is the surgical technique of choice for large tumors of the lower eyelid. We present the case of a patient with superficial basal cell carcinoma of the lower left eyelid who underwent surgery with excision of the tumor with margin of safety and repair of the primary defect using this flap. We describe the Hughes technique step by step, its potential complications, as well as the key points in its execution to achieve satisfactory results.

In recent years, tattoos have become more commonplace. However, this can result in various inflammatory processes, the management of which can be challenging in daily clinical practice. Tattoo-related inflammatory reactions can comprise different patterns, including acute and immediate reactions, foreign body granulomas, sarcoid granulomas, isomorphic lesions, allergic contact dermatitis and photosensitivity. We report three cases who were referred to the Dermatology Outpatient Clinic of the Hospital Universitario San Cecilio, Granada, Spain, in 2017 with various skin reactions in the red-ink areas of their tattoos. Screening was performed for infectious diseases like atypical mycobacterial infections and systemic processes such as sarcoidosis. A good therapeutic response was achieved in all cases. An adequate differential diagnosis is essential for the therapeutic management of this emerging health problem.Keywords: Non-Therapeutic Body Modification; Tattooing, adverse effects; Inks; Foreign Body Reaction; Inflammation; Case Report; Spain.
