Granular Cell Tumor Located in the Bulbar Subconjunctival Space.

AIM: To report an unusual case of granular cell tumor. METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: A 14-year-old male presented with a bulbar conjunctival yellowish nonmovable mass, in the left eye. The tumor was removed and histopathologic evaluation revealed a granular cell tumor. CONCLUSION: Granular cell tumor can occur at the bulbar subconjunctival space.

Optic Disc Pyogenic Granuloma.

AIM: The aim of this paper was to report a rare presentation of adenoid cystic carcinoma. METHOD: This is a case report presenting clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic findings. RESULTS: A 72-year-old female with no reported ocular symptoms was found to have an incidental right orbital mass on imaging. Additional studies revealed multiple liver lesions, which were biopsied and found to be consistent with adenoid cystic carcinoma. She was then referred to the ophthalmology service, where ocular examination demonstrated 2.5 mm of right proptosis with elevation and abduction deficits. Diplopia could be elicited in extreme upgaze and right lateral gaze. An excisional biopsy of the orbital mass was performed, with histopathology confirming the diagnosis of primary adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lacrimal gland, thereby also supporting the initial suspicion that the hepatic adenoid cystic carcinoma lesions represented metastases. CONCLUSION: The authors describe a rare presentation of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lacrimal gland, initially asymptomatic, with metastatic lesions restricted to the liver at the time of diagnosis. Three previous cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma with isolated metastatic hepatic lesions at the time of diagnosis have been reported; all of these cases localized the primary tumor to the salivary glands.
