Clinical features of midzonal iris pigment epithelial cysts: surprising findings revealed by ultrasound biomicroscopy.
Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study examined midzonal iris pigment epithelial (IPE) cysts, which are usually harmless but can be confused with ciliary body melanoma, to better understand their characteristics using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM).
- Researchers reviewed 69 patient charts, finding that cysts were most common in older adults (median age 66), with a slight female majority and various cyst sizes, often located inferotemporally in the eye.
- UBM revealed that many cases thought to have multiple cysts were actually single cysts with distinct shapes, and associated peripheral IPE cysts were found in a majority of the evaluated eyes.
Introduction: A retrospective review of patients treated for retinoblastoma who developed a non-pineoblastoma second primary malignant neoplasm (SPMN) was performed.
Methods: The demographics, clinical features and treatments for retinoblastoma, pathologic types of non-pineoblastoma second primary malignant neoplasm (SPMN), intervals between the retinoblastoma diagnosis and treatment and diagnosis of non-pineoblastoma SPMN, treatment provided for the SPMN, and the survival outcomes of the patients were evaluated.
Results: Of 550 patients treated initially for retinoblastoma, this series used the 15 (2.
Retinal Gliovascular Proliferation Secondary to Retinoblastoma Treated With Radiotherapy.
Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina
December 2024
Background And Objective: Retinal gliovascular proliferation (RGVP) is a benign lesion of the retina that can arise idiopathically or secondary to another disease entity. This study describes the clinical features, treatment, and outcomes of six patients with secondary RGVP associated with irradiated, regressed retinoblastoma, and distinguishes it from late local relapse of retinoblastoma.
Patients And Methods: In a retrospective review of available clinical records of 550 patients evaluated for retinoblastoma in a single ocular oncology practice between 1975 and 2022, seven eyes of six patients were identified as having secondary RGVP overlying a treated and regressed retinoblastoma.
Purpose: To describe the case of a woman who developed rapid progression of a choroidal melanoma after 19 years of observation of a previously treated choroidal nevus.
Methods: A 71-year-old woman with a 22-year history of a choroidal nevus was observed for 19 years after undergoing transpupillary thermotherapy for a localized, macula-involving, exudative, retinal detachment. Five months after her most recent stable examination, she presented for routine follow-up.
