ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Pilomatrixoma is a rare benign tumor, which usually affects young women in the head and neck region. The eyelid is a common site of the disease, though it is very rare in the tarsal conjunctiva.The pilomatrixoma has clinical pleomorphism, which confuses this disease with other similar conditions. The diagnosis is made by pathological examination in most cases. The treatment is surgical, performed by total excision of the lesion with clear margins and recurrence is very uncommon.We present an unusual case of probable recurrent pilomatrixoma in the left upper tarsal conjunctiva.


RESUMO O pilomatricoma é uma neoplasia benigna rara, geralmente acomete mulheres jovens, ocorrendo na região da cabeça e pescoço. A pálpebra é um local comum de aparecimento do pilomatricoma, contudo, seu aparecimento na conjuntiva tarsal é muito raro. O diagnóstico é feito pelo exame anátomo-patológico na maioria dos casos, pois seu pleomorfismo clínico o confunde com outras alterações. O tratamento é cirúrgico, realizado por meio da exérese total da lesão com margens livres. São raros os casos de recidiva. Apresentamos um caso atípico de provável recidiva de pilomatricoma, localizado na conjuntiva tarsal superior à esquerda.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To identify microscopic morphological alterations in the surface of silicone tubes used for intubation of the lachrymal system after exposure to ophthalmological lubricants. Methods: Experimental, descriptive and longitudinal study consisted of the application of ophthalmological lubricants in silicone tubes. The tubes were divided in: Group 1 (Cylocort®), 2 (Epitezan®), 3 (Labcaína®), 4 (Liposic®), 5 (Maxinom®) and 6 (Vista Gel®). One tube was not exposed to any lubricant, used as control. The tubes were observed and photographed after 2 hours, 30 days, 45 days before and after cleaning the surface and lumen. The following aspects were observed: surface (regularity, transparency, quantity, size and shape of the substances) and lumen (obstruction). Results: Control: irregular surface with pores after 2 hours: Group 1 – irregular surface with presence of film; Groups 2, 3 and 5 – abundant and irregular quantity of ointment at the surface; Group 4 – discrete modification at the surface; Group 6 – growth of pigmented (brownish) structures with filaments in the lumen, with discrete film in the surface. 30 Days: Groups 1, 4 and 5 – increase of the irregular superficial film; Group 2 – crust with notorious horizontal lines; Group 3 – diminution of the superficial film; Group 4 – crust less evident. Group 6 – increase of the structure seen with 2 hours of exposition, arboriform aspect. Forty-five days pre cleaning: Group 4 – diminution of the surface crust; Group 6 – expansion of the arboriform structure; unaltered findings in other groups. 45 days after cleaning: Groups 1 and 5 – light diminution of the surface crust; Groups 2, 3 and 4 – kept the modifications; Group 6 – the structure inside the lumen was not identified, clear surface, without evidence of film. Conclusions: Microscopic morphological alterations in the surface and lumen of silicone...


Objetivo: Identificar alterações morfológicas na superfície de tubos de silicone usados para intubação do sistema lacrimal após exposição a lubrificantes oftalmológicos. Métodos: Estudo experimental, descritivo e longitudinal que consistiu na aplicação de lubrificantes oftalmológicos em tubos de silicone. Os tubos foram divididos em: Grupo 1 (Cylocort®), 2 (Epitezan®), 3 (Labcaína®), 4 (Liposic®), 5 (Maxinom®) e 6 (Vista Gel®). Um tubo não foi exposto a nenhum lubrificante, sendo usado como controle. Os tubos foram observados e fotografados após 2 horas, 30 dias, 45 dias antes e após limpeza da sua superfície e lúmen. Os seguintes aspectos foram observados: superfície (regularidade, transparência, quantidade, tamanho e formato das substâncias) e lúmen (obstrução). Resultados: Controle – superfície irregular com poros. Após 2 horas: Grupo 1 – superfície irregular com presença de filme; Grupos 2,3 e 5 – quantidade abundante e irregular de pomada na superfície; Grupo 4 – discreta modificação da superfície; Grupo 6 – crescimento de estrutura pigmentada (marrom) com filamentos no lúmen, com discreto filme na superfície. Trinta dias: Grupos 1, 4 e 5 – aumento do filme irregular na superfície; Grupo 2 – crosta com linhas horizontais; Grupo 3 – diminuição do filme superficial; Grupo 4 – crosta menos evidente; Grupo 6 – aumento da estrutura vista com 2 horas de exposição, aspect arboriforme. Quarenta e cinco pré-limpeza: Grupo 4 – diminuição da crosta superficial; Grupo 6 – aumento da estrutura arboriforme; os demais grupos sem alterações. Quarenta e cinco dias pós-limpeza: Grupo 1 e 5 – discreta diminuição da crosta superficial; Grupos 2, 3 e 4 – modificações mantidas; Grupo 6 – a estrutura dentro do lúmen não foi visualizada, superfície limpa sem evidência de filme. Conclusão: As modificações na morfologia microscópica na superfície e lúmen de tubos de...

ABSTRACT

Here we report the case of a 73-year-old man who was diagnosed with metachronous, multiple primary tumors with non-Hodgkin B-cell mantle cell lymphoma involving the orbit on the basis of biopsy and immunohistochemistry in 2012. The patient had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin small cell lymphoma and basal cell skin carcinoma in 2010 and intestinal adenocarcinoma with metastasis to the regional lymph nodes in 2011, thus representing a typical case of metachronous, multiple primary tumors. Mantle cell lymphoma is a rare disease and its prognosis is quite poor, particularly when it is associated with other metachronous malignancies. Therefore, physicians should consider mantle cell lymphoma as a differential diagnosis for neoplasms of the orbit.

ABSTRACT

Here we describe the rare case of a 55-year-old man with medial rectus muscle myositis as an atypical presentation of non-Hodgkin B-cell mucosa-associated lymphoma (MALT). Pathology and immunohistochemistry of the affected muscle confirmed the diagnosis of a neoplasm. The primary etiology of orbital myositis is Graves' ophthalmopathy, but several other diseases may cause this clinical presentation. Therefore, the neoplastic causes must be eliminated from the differential diagnoses. non-Hodgkin B-cell mucosa-associated lymphoma is the most common histological type of lymphoma in the orbit, with the conjunctiva and lacrimal glands being the most commonly affected sites. However, it may also present in atypical forms involving others sites and tissues.

Descrevemos um raro caso de miosite do músculo reto medial como forma atípica de apresentação de linfoma não-Hodgkin de células B tipo MALT. A anatomia patológica e imuno-histoquímica do músculo afetado confirmaram o diagnóstico definitivo do caráter neoplásico da doença. As miosites orbitárias têm como principal etiologia a oftalmopatia de Graves, porém diversas outras causas podem apresentar-se dessa forma. Sendo assim, as causas neoplásicas devem ser descartadas. O linfoma não-Hodgkin de células B tipo MALT é o tipo histológico mais comum de linfoma orbitário, as regiões mais frequentemente acometidas são a conjuntiva e glândula lacrimal. No entanto, pode apresentar-se com formas clínicas atípicas, acometendo outras regiões e tecidos.

Relatamos um caso de linfoma não-Hodgkin de células B subtipo células do manto acometendo região orbital, com o diagnóstico confirmado pela biópsia e testes imuno-histoquímicos em 2012. O paciente apresentava história de linfoma não-Hodgkin de pequenas células em 2010, carcinoma basocelular de pele no mesmo ano e adenocarcinoma intestinal com metástase para linfonodos regionais em 2011; caracterizando um caso de tumor primário múltiplo metacrônico. O linfoma de células do manto é uma doença rara, ainda mais quando associado a outras neoplasias metacrônicas, apresentando prognóstico bastante reservado. Dessa forma, deve estar entre os diagnósticos diferenciais de neoplasias da órbita.
