Purpose: To identify an immunohistochemical pattern of epithelial markers in granular, lattice and Avellino corneal dystrophies.
Methods: Twenty-two corneal buttons, diagnosed as lattice (17), Avellino (4) and granular (1) underwent immunohistochemical studies of cytokeratins (CKs) on paraffin-embedded sections (group I). Monoclonal antibodies for pan-CK (AE1/AE3) and CKs 3/12, 5/6, 8, 18 and 19 were used.
Purpose: To describe a case of eyelid sarcoidosis without systemic manifestations with a three-year follow-up.
Methods: A 73-year-old woman presented complaining of a one-year history of swelling and hyperemia in the right upper eyelid. To confirm the diagnosis, we performed an incisional biopsy of the eyelid.
Purpose: To investigate the expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in retinoblastoma specimens enucleated as a primary treatment or after conservative treatment and to correlate this expression with histopathological tumor features.
Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed on retinoblastoma specimens obtained consecutively between 1993 and 2003 by enucleation either as primary treatment (group I) or after the failure of conservative treatment (group II). Sections from the formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens were stained with hematoxylin and eosin.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to report on the possible development of corneal endothelial deposits resulting from the use of rifabutin.
Methods: Case series consisting of 3 patients treated with rifabutin were retrospectively studied. Two of the patients were infected with human immunodeficiency virus.
