A SEER program study of survival trends in Merkel cell carcinoma of the eyelid: 2000-2019
CONCLUSIONS: Consistent with previous reports, most patients were white, female, and age 85+.Incidence correlated with metropolitan environments and median income. While most patients did not die from MCCE, majority of recorded deaths occurred within one year of diagnosis.PMID:38032687 | DOI:10.1080/01676830.2023.2286380 (Source: Orbit)

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma radiographically mimicking infiltration into the lacrimal gland
Orbit. 2023 Nov 30:1-4. doi: 10.1080/01676830.2023.2287635. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a common malignancy of the skin, with the potential for local invasion and metastasis. Here, we present a case series of two patients with SCCs, suggesting radiological infiltration of the lacrimal gland on magnetic resonance imaging. However, histopathological examination revealed lymphoplasmacytic infiltration of the lacrimal gland consistent with dacryoadenitis, with no evidence of SCC infiltration. Our cases highlight the potential for peritumoural inflammation to cause dacryoadenitis and...

A novel case of recurrent cylindroma of the orbit
We report a case of a recurrent orbital cylindroma following incomplete excision. A 75-year-old female presented with a recurrent left inferomedial orbital mass. Seven years prior a mass of the same location was excised and on histology at the time resembled a cylindroma. The patient had a history of lung adenocarcinoma. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) found the recurrent mass to be a well-circumscribed lesion anterior to the inferior oblique. The mass was subsequently excised. Histological analysis found a well-circumscribed neoplasm with a characteristic jigsaw pattern of nested cells, consistent with cylindroma. This c...

She underwent a left external dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) 8 years ago. On examination, left lacrimal passage irrigation showed regurgitation of fluid from opposite punctum. She underwent a revision external DCR with bicanalicular intubation and a portion of fibrosed sac was sent for histopathological examination (HPE). HPE showed a Microfilarial worm with surrounding granulomatous inflammation. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on...

A comparison of proptosis reduction with teprotumumab versus surgical decompression based on fat-to-muscle ratio in thyroid eye disease
CONCLUSIONS: Baseline FMR can be used to counsel patients as to proptosis reduction with teprotumumab versus surgery. Subjects with low FMR obtain comparable proptosis reduction with teprotumumab or surgery, whereas high FMR is associated with more significant proptosis reduction following surgery over teprotumumab.PMID:37978819 | DOI:10.1080/01676830.2023.2282509 (Source: Orbit)
