Purpose: To review long-term outcomes of circumscribed choroidal hemangioma (CCH).
Methods: Hospital charts of all CCH cases diagnosed from 2008 to 2019 were retrospectively reviewed.
Results: All 172 patients were managed with either observation, transpupillary thermotherapy, argon laser photocoagulation, photodynamic therapy, plaque brachytherapy or stereotactic radiosurgery.
Purpose: To explore the genetic background of choroidal and ciliary body melanoma among children and young adults, with special focus on BAP1 germline variants in this age group.
Methods: Patients under the age of 25 and with confirmed choroidal or ciliary body melanoma were included in this retrospective, multicenter observational study. Nuclear BAP1 immunopositivity was used to evaluate the presence of functional BAP1 in the tumor.
Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the effectiveness of hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (HF-SRT) in treating rare optic nerve sheath meningiomas (ONSM), which can lead to vision problems.
- A total of 36 patients were treated, and results showed that 64% of tumors regressed and 89% achieved local control, with the majority of patients maintaining or improving their visual acuity over an average follow-up period of 106 months.
- The findings suggest that HF-SRT is a safe and effective treatment, with an emphasis on starting therapy before significant vision loss occurs, particularly noting that female patients had better visual outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- * The 63-year-old woman showed a pigmented mass in the eye, which had been present for years but recently began to grow, prompting further examination.
- * Biopsy results indicated non-cancerous pigment deposits, revealing that black henna exposure can cause subconjunctival accumulation that resembles melanoma without any neoplastic cells present.
The study analysed the clinical characteristics, treatment approaches, and survival outcomes of 97 consecutive patients with orbital lymphoma (OL) over a 25-year period at. The median age of the patients was 57.6 years, and 59.
