Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze high-risk histopathological features in eyes with retinoblastoma (RB) after enucleation and compare patient outcomes globally.
- A total of 1,426 RB cases were reviewed, revealing significant differences in histopathological features across continents, with Asia showing the highest rates of massive choroidal invasion and optic nerve invasion.
- The findings indicated that patients from South America and Asia faced greater risks of tumor recurrence, systemic metastasis, and mortality compared to those from Australia, Europe, and North America.
Objective: To study the efficacy and side-effect profile of topical 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) in the treatment of ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN).
Methods: Retrospective study of 101 eyes of 100 patients treated with 5-FU with one week on and 3 weeks off regimen.
Results: Of the 100 patients (101 eyes), the mean age at diagnosis of OSSN was 49 (median, 52 years; range, 11-87 years).
Purpose: To describe the clinical features, histopathology, treatment, and outcomes of patients with ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) presenting to a referral centre in India.
Methods: Retrospective interventional study.
Results: Of 438 patients, the mean age at presentation was 49 years.

October 2021
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of oral propranolol in the treatment of periocular infantile capillary hemangioma (CHI) based on the involvement of embryological facial placodes and their extent of anatomical involvement.
Methods: Retrospective study of 27 patients.
Results: The mean age at the presentation of periocular CHI was 4 months (median, 3 months; range, <1-14 months).
Periocular Lobular Capillary Hemangioma in Adults: A Clinicopathological Study.
Middle East Afr J Ophthalmol
January 2020
Purpose: To describe a case series of periocular lobular capillary hemangiomas in adults, outlining characteristic clinical and histopathological patterns.
Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective case series of 16 patients with review of clinical and histopathological features.
Results: Eleven male and five female patients were diagnosed with periocular lobular capillary hemangioma at a median age of 38 years (mean, 41 years; range, 21-71 years).
Purpose: To study the factors influencing the response to treatment with interferon alfa 2b (IFN) in ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN)Methods: Retrospective study of 91 patientsResults: The mean age at presentation of patients with OSSN was 58 years (median, 60 years; range, 21 to 83 years). The mean number of clock hours of conjunctiva/cornea/limbus involvement by the tumor was 6 (median, 6; range, 1 to 12). The mean duration of topical IFN was 3 months (median, 3 months; range, 1 to 6 months) and the mean number of subconjunctival injections of IFN was 2 (median, 2; range, 0 to 6), till complete tumor regression or initiation of alternate treatment.

Methods: This is a retrospective study of 536 patients.
Results: The mean age at presentation with eyelid malignancy was 58 years.
Objective: To review the indications of enucleation in Asian Indian patients and study the trend over the 22-year period.
Methods: Retrospective study of 2009 patients who underwent enucleation.
Results: The mean age at presentation of patients who underwent enucleation was 155 months The histopathology diagnosis included a benign tumor (n = 22, 1%), malignant tumor (n = 1472, 73%), acute trauma (n = 93, 5%), retinal vascular disease (n = 50, 3%), inflammatory/infective pathology (n = 33, 2%), or other miscellaneous/non-specific diagnosis (n = 460, 23%).
