Ocular adnexal lymphoma - a retrospective study and review of the literature.

Background: To review the characteristics of all Slovenian patients with ocular adnexal lymphoma (OAL) in the period of 24 years with the aim of evaluating demographic data, lymphoma location and type, disease stage, treatment modality, local control rate and survival rate.

Patients And Methods: All patients with histologically diagnosed OAL in the main tertiary centre of Slovenia, Eye Hospital, University Medical Centre Ljubljana, who were treated at Institute of Oncology Ljubljana were included in the study. Patients' data were collected from October 1995 through April 2019.

Sentinel Node Biopsy for Conjunctival Melanoma; Single Centre Experience and Review of Current Literature.

Purpose: To evaluate the role of sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy in patients with conjuctival melanoma (CjM).

Study Design: Retrospective observational cohort study and literature review.

Subjects: Slovenian patients with CjM are included in the study.

PRAME expression in melanocytic lesions of the conjunctiva.

Aims: PRAME (PReferentially expressed Antigen in MElanoma) is a tumour-associated antigen that is preferentially strongly expressed in most cutaneous melanomas but not or only focally in naevi. Our aim was to evaluate PRAME expression in melanocytic lesions of the conjunctiva.

Methods And Results: Surgical specimens of 114 conjunctival melanocytic naevi of different types (including 67 common, 25 combined deep penetrating and 21 inflamed juvenile naevi), 30 invasive melanomas, 10 in-situ melanomas, 23 primary acquired melanoses (PAM) without atypia and 11 PAM with atypia were analysed for PRAME expression by immunohistochemistry.

Management of Traumatic Lower-Eyelid Avulsion and Complete Loss of the Lacrimal Canaliculus: A Case Report.

Eyelid injuries commonly occur as a result of blunt or sharp periocular trauma. When the medial canthal region is affected, injury can be associated with canalicular laceration or avulsion. Complete loss of the lacrimal canaliculus associated with epiphora is a challenging condition, and reconstruction often leads to poor and disappointing results.

Combined deep penetrating nevi of the conjunctiva are relatively common lesions characterised by BRAFV600E mutation and activation of the beta catenin pathway: a clinicopathological analysis of 34 lesions.

Background: Deep penetrating nevus (DPN) is not a widely recognised lesion on the conjunctiva and only a few cases consistent with combined DPN have been reported.

Methods: A review of all excised and histopathologically diagnosed conjunctival melanocytic lesions between 2003 and 2018 was performed in order to identify melanocytic nevi morphologically consistent with DPN.

Results: Thirty-four DPN were identified among 361 histopathologically examined conjunctival nevi (9.

Optical coherence tomography for an in-vivo study of posterior-capsule-opacification types and their influence on the total-pulse energy required for Nd:YAG capsulotomy: a case series.

Background: Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is the most common post-operative complication associated with cataract surgery and is mostly treated with Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy. Here, we demonstrate the use of high-resolution spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a technique for PCO analysis. Additionally, we evaluate the influence of PCO types and the distance between the intraocular lens (IOL) and the posterior capsule (PC), i.
