A new method for tear film stability analysis using videokeratography.

Purpose: To report a new tear film stability analysis system using videokeratography.

Design: Observational case series.

Methods: New videokeratography software for TMS-2N (topographic modeling system; TOMEY Corporation, Nagoya, Japan) was developed that can automatically capture consecutive corneal surface images every second for 10 seconds.

[A case of metastatic liver cell carcinoma in the abdominal wall corresponding to the location of a buried arterial catheter].

The authors encountered a case of primary liver cell carcinoma which metastasized to the abdominal wall at a site corresponding to the location of an indwelling catheter for intra-arterial injections. The patient was a 54-year-old male with primary liver cell carcinoma in the posterior inferior segment. Because of a subsegmentectomy of the liver on September 25, 1986 and postoperative chemotherapy, a catheter for intra-arterial injections was inserted from the right gastroepiploic artery.
