ABSTRACT
To report a case of peripheral exudative hemorrhagic chorioretinopathy (PEHCR) associated with extramacular choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM). A 65-year-old female with BCVA of 3/60 in the RE was diagnosed to have PEHCR with peripheral CNVM. She had subretinal fluid in the macular region. The patient was treated successfully with a single dose of intravitreal bevacizumab followed by laser photocoagulation of the CNVM. BCVA was 6/24 after 3 months and subretinal fluid had resolved. PEHCR may be associated with extramacular CNVM and hence may cause visual loss. Such extramacular CNVMs respond well to combination therapy which offers a permanent cure.

Solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) is a rare spindle cell tumour of mesenchymal origin most commonly encountered in pleura. It can affect the orbital region but SFT of lacrimal gland is rare. We hereby report of a SFT of lacrimal gland in a 50-year-old male presenting with slow growing swelling in left superolateral orbital region. The preliminary fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) could not reveal any definite diagnosis. Excision biopsy and immunohistochemistry (IHC) confirmed the diagnosis. Therefore, clinician and pathologist should be aware of this entity and biopsy along with IHC is required to rule out other entities which can mimic it clinically and histopathologically.
