Ciliary body and choroidal pseudomelanoma from ultrasonographic imaging of hypermature cataract in 20 cases.

Purpose: To describe a series of 20 patients with opaque media, referred with uveal melanoma, but subsequently found to have pseudomelanoma from oblique imaging of hypermature cataract on ultrasonography.

Design: Case series.

Participants: Twenty patients.

Vascular tumors of the conjunctiva in 140 cases.

Objective: To report clinical and histopathologic features of vascular tumors of the conjunctiva.

Design: Retrospective, noninterventional case series.

Participants: A total of 140 patients.

Phacomatosis pigmentovascularis of cesioflammea type in 7 patients: combination of ocular pigmentation (melanocytosis or melanosis) and nevus flammeus with risk for melanoma.

Objective: To describe the features of phacomatosis pigmentovascularis (cesioflammea type).

Design: Noninterventional retrospective case series composed of 7 patients.

Results: Nevus flammeus combined with ipsilateral ocular melanocytosis or melanosis was seen in all 7 patients.

Acquired sessile hemangioma of the conjunctiva: a report of 10 cases.

Purpose: To report 10 cases of an unusual conjunctival lesion that has been termed acquired sessile hemangioma.

Design: Retrospective, interventional case series.

Methods: A chart review was conducted on patients coded as having a conjunctival vascular tumor at the Ocular Oncology Service at Wills Eye Institute, Thomas Jefferson University.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis of the uvea with neovascular glaucoma: diagnosis by fine-needle aspiration biopsy and management with intraocular bevacizumab and brachytherapy.

A 6-year-old boy with known multisystem Langerhans cell histiocytosis developed photophobia, conjunctival injection, iris neovascularization, and an iridociliochoroidal mass. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy revealed mononucleated and multinucleate histiocytes that demonstrated positive immunostaining for CD68 and S100 consistent with Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Management with intracameral bevacizumab (1.

Vascular tumors of the iris in 45 patients: the 2009 Helen Keller Lecture.

Objective: To report on a series of vascular tumors of the iris.

Design: Noncomparative case series. A retrospective medical record review of all patients with an iris vascular tumor was performed to identify the clinical features and develop a simple classification of these lesions.

Lower extremity arterial injury patterns and reconstructive outcomes in patients with severe lower extremity trauma: a 26-year review.

Background: Management of severe traumatic lower extremity injuries remains a considerable challenge. Free tissue transfer is now a standard part of reconstruction for Gustilo IIIB and IIIC injuries. There is limited information on arterial injury patterns in this population.
