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...

A rare case of lacrimal sac dirofilariasis confirmed by polymerase chain reaction
Orbit. 2023 Nov 17:1-3. doi: 10.1080/01676830.2023.2278611. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 69-year-old female presented with complaints of persistent watering in the left eye for the past 8 years. 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)
