Pathology of an orbital dermis-fat graft.
A patient had an orbital dermis-fat graft implanted for a secondary socket reconstruction. The graft shrank only minimally and a portion had to be excised to permit better prosthesis fitting. The pathologic findings are presented. Although a generalization cannot be made on the basis of one case, prudence should be exercised with regard to the degree that such grafts are oversized in socket reconstruction.
