In this Note we consider a fourth order degenerate parabolic equation modeling the evolution of the interface of a spreading droplet. The equation is approximated trough a collisional kinetic equation. This permits to derive numerical approximations that preserves positivity of the solution and the main relevant physical properties. A Monte Carlo application is also shown. To cite this article: L.
