Conjunctival Melanoma in Childhood and Adolescence: A Systematic Review
Conclusions: Conjunctival melanoma occurs rarely in children and adolescents. Surgery is the mainstay of management. The prognosis is guarded in metastatic disease due to the small sample size and limited follow-up.Ocul Oncol Pathol (Source: Ocular Oncology and Pathology)

Isolated Intraocular Rosai-Dorfman Disease
Conclusion: We describe a rare presentation of RDD as a solitary choroidal mass in an elderly patient with overlapping features of uveal melanoma. Definitive diagnosis could only be made on histology. RDD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a choroidal lesion in the elderly.Ocul Oncol Pathol (Source: Ocular Oncology and Pathology)

Patient-Reported Outcomes and Quality of Life after Treatment for Choroidal Melanoma
Conclusion: The findings of this study should help physicians understand what patients tend to feel after treatment for choroidal melanoma.Ocul Oncol Pathol (Source: Ocular Oncology and Pathology)

Orbital Cellular Epithelioid Hemangioma
Conclusions: This case report demonstrates that the use of immunohistochemical stains to detect cytogenetic rearrangements may aid in the distinction between benign EH and malignant EHE. It also reminds providers of the clinical and histopathologic features of this lesion, which occurs rarely in the orbit, and helps clarify the evolving nomenclature surrounding epithelioid hemangioma.Ocul Oncol Pathol (Source: Ocular Oncology and Pathology)

Melanocytoma of the Conjunctiva: Clinicopathologic Features of Three Cases
Conclusions: Conjunctival melanocytic lesions suspicious for melanocytoma should be bleached to evaluate their cytologic features. CD68 can be helpful in identifying heavily pigmented melanomacrophages which may mimic a melanocytoma. As conjunctival melanocytomas are extremely rare, their pathogenesis may be different from that of other conjunctival nevi.Ocul Oncol Pathol (Source: Ocular Oncology and Pathology)

No Gender Differences in Long-Term Survival after Brachytherapy of 1,541 Patients with Uveal Melanoma

Diffuse Iris Melanoma: Conservative Treatment with Proton Beam Therapy after Limbal Stem Cell Preservation or Enucleation?
Conclusions: DIM is a very rare tumour. The global survival is excellent. Conservative treatment with PT is an efficient alternative to enucleation and allows good local tumour control. Cataract and glaucoma are the main radiation-related complications, but the corneal status was excellent due to the stem cell harvest prior to radiotherapy.Ocul Oncol Pathol (Source: Ocular Oncology and Pathology)

Results of Intralesional Bleomycin Sclerotherapy for Treatment of Orbital Lymphangiomas at a Tertiary Eye Care Centre in Bangladesh
Conclusion: No significant ophthalmic or systemic side effect was noticed in our study group. Therefore, intralesional bleomycin injection can be considered as first-line therapy for treatment of orbital lymphangiomas.Ocul Oncol Pathol (Source: Ocular Oncology and Pathology)

Uveal Melanoma Metastatic to the Liver: Treatment Trends and Outcomes
Conclusion: Patients who received first-line local treatment had the longest PFS and OS, while patients who received no treatment had the shortest OS.

Pathologic Study of Supernumerary Orbital Band in Type I Duane Syndrome
Conclusions: The findings of dense collagen fibers in the fibrotic band with focal striated muscle correlated with the restrictive strabismus. In concert with other cases in the literature, it is proposed that the fibrous bands are generally associated with restrictive strabismus. Bands that are muscular may or may not be associated with strabismus. Special techniques are needed to positively identify compressed collagen.Ocul Oncol Pathol (Source: Ocular Oncology and Pathology)

Choroidal Nevus with Retinal Invasion in 8 Cases
Conclusion: Retinal invasion of the choroidal nevus is rare. In this series of 8 cases, only 1 demonstrated transformation to melanoma over a mean interval of 40 months. Long-term monitoring of such lesions is warranted.Ocul Oncol Pathol (Source: Ocular Oncology and Pathology)

Diagnostic A-Scan of Choroidal Tumors: Comparison of Quantified Parameters
Conclusions: The quantified A-scan patterns of common choroidal tumors were significantly influenced by the tumor height. Other than median internal reflectivity of #x3c; 65%, which seems to distinguish choroidal melanoma from other tumors (choroidal nevus, choroidal metastasis, and circumscribed choroidal hemangioma), there were no specific diagnostic patterns.Ocul Oncol Pathol (Source: Ocular Oncology and Pathology)
