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.

Comprovação anatomopatológica da presença de tecido vascular e nervoso evidenciado à ecografia como eco tangencial ao descolamento de coróide: relato de dois casos / Histopathologic confirmation of vascular and nervous tissue identified on ultrasound as an tangential image to choroidal detachment: report of two cases

São apresentados dois casos de descolamento de coróide em olhos com endoftalmite submetidos a enucleação. O estudo anatomopatológico permitiu identificar a presença de tecido vascular e nervoso interpondo-se entre a esclera e coróide deslocada, como havia sido evidenciado pela ecografia.

Two cases of endophthalmitis with choroidal detachment submitted to enucleation are presented. The histopathologic study allowed the identification of vascular and nervous tissue between the choroid and sclera, as it was seen on ultrasound examination.

Melanocitoma associado à membrana neovascular sub-retiniana / Melanocytoma associated to subretinal neovascular membrane

Relatamos caso de melanocitoma de disco óptico associado à membrana neovascular sub-retiniana. O paciente apresentava diminuição da visão, presença de descolamento seroso de retina, com hemorragia e exsudação e foi encaminhado com o diagnóstico de melanoma de coróide e sugestão de enucleação. São discutidas as principais características dos dois tumores e os detalhes do diagnóstico diferencial.

We report a case of optic disc melonocytoma associated to subretinal neovascular membrane. The patient presented with low visual acuity, serous retinal detachment with haemorrhage and exudates and was referred with the diagnosis of melanoma and an orientation to enucleate the eye. We discuss the major aspects of both tumors and the details of differential diagnostic.

Foreign body after pterygium surgery simulating an epibulbar tumor.

A 60-year-old woman was referred for evaluation of a rapidly growing conjunctival neoplasm after pterygium surgery. The lesion proved to be a foreign body granuloma, with exogenous material that seemed to be cotton mesh, probably used for tamponade of subconjunctival bleeding that was unintentionally left in place.

Cisto ósseo aneurismático orbitário - estudo clínico-patológico: relato de caso / Aneurysmal bone cyst of the orbit - a clinicopathological study: case report

O cisto ósseo aneurismático orbitário é doença rara, usualmente acomete pacientes jovens e é causada por alterações hemodinâmicas intra-ósseas. Relatamos um caso de cisto ósseo aneurismático orbitário, encaminhado com suspeita clínica e radiológica de cisto dermóide, comentando seus aspectos clínicos e anátomo-patológicos.

Aneurysmal bone cyst of the orbit is a rare disease that usually affects young patients and is caused by osseous hemodynamic alterations. We report a case of aneurysmal bone cyst of the orbit, referred to us as a dermoid cyst, discussing its clinical and histopathological aspects.

Mixoma da conjuntiva em adolescente / Conjunctival myxoma occuring in a teenager

Objetivo: Relatar caso atípico de mixoma da conjuntiva. Relato de caso: Paciente feminina, 11 anos de idade, com lesão em conjuntiva nasal esquerda notada há um mês. Ao exame a lesão não apresentava mobilidade, sendo feita suspeita de doença linfoproliferativa ou tumor estromal. Submetida à excisão cirurgica teve diagnóstico final de moxoma da conjuntiva. Apresentou recidiva da lesão dois meses após a primeira cirurgia, sendo submetida à nova excisão. Após 18 meses não havia sinal de doença recorrente. Comentários: O caso descrito é peculiar devido à baixa idade de apresentação, localização nasal, aderência ao tecido episcleral e ocorrência de recidiva da lesão.
