Orbital Richter Transformation With Subsequent Orbital MALT-type Lymphoma in a Patient With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.
Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg
November 2024
A 74-year-old man with a history of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) presented with large salmon-colored patch lesions along the inferior fornix and superotemporal conjunctiva of the OS. The patient underwent an incisional biopsy of the lesions, which showed a CLL with areas of large B-cell lymphoma, consistent with Richter transformation. Following medical and radiation-based therapy of these lesions, the patient returned 3 months later with inferomedial preseptal swelling in the contralateral eye, which biopsy proved to be recurrent/resistant low-grade CLL with a posttreatment extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma pattern.

- The study investigates the recurrence of chalazion (a common eye condition) in pediatric patients who undergo surgery, particularly focusing on the risks of multiple anesthetic exposures in children under three.
- A review of 649 patient records over five years revealed that less than one-third experienced a recurrence after surgery, with younger age, female sex, and the number of lesions drained being significant risk factors.
- The findings highlight the need for ophthalmologists to balance the likelihood of recurrence with the potential risks of anesthesia, especially for younger children.

The most common histological type of esophageal cancer in western countries is adenocarcinoma. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between intraoperative opioid consumption and survival in patients with adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus.
