Conjunctival myxoma: A case report and review of a rare tumor.
Medicine (Baltimore)
March 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Chungnam National University College of Medicine, Chungnam National University Sejong Hospital, Sejong, Republic of Korea.
Article Synopsis
- Conjunctival myxoma is a rare benign tumor that can be mistaken for more common lesions like cysts and melanomas, leading to misdiagnosis, as seen in a 55-year-old woman who was initially thought to have a conjunctival cyst.
- Histopathological examination revealed the presence of specialized cells confirming the diagnosis of conjunctival myxoma after a thorough analysis.
- The lesion was surgically excised without complications, and the patient showed no signs of recurrence or systemic issues upon follow-up, highlighting the importance of considering myxoma in conjunctival evaluations.
PLASMA CIRCULATING TUMOR DNA TO ASSIST IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF UNKNOWN PRIMARY MALIGNANCY UNDERLYING CHOROIDAL METASTASES.
Retin Cases Brief Rep
January 2025
Ophthalmic Oncology Service, Department of Surgery, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, New York.
Purpose: Management of suspected choroidal metastases requires diagnostic imaging and an invasive, sometimes intraocular, biopsy to determine the primary malignancy. This multistep process takes time, which may affect morbidity and mortality.
Methods: This was a retrospective review of one case.
Challenging Patterns of Atypical Dermatofibromas and Promising Diagnostic Tools for Differential Diagnosis of Malignant Lesions.
Diagnostics (Basel)
February 2023
Dermatology Department, "Elias" University Emergency Hospital, 011461 Bucharest, Romania.
Dermatofibroma (DF) or fibrous histiocytoma is one of the most frequent benign cutaneous soft-tissue lesions, characterized by a post-inflammatory tissue reaction associated with fibrosis of the dermis. Clinically DFs have a polymorphous clinical aspect from the solitary, firm, single nodules to multiple papules with a relatively smooth surface. However, multiple atypical clinicopathological variants of DFs have been reported and, therefore, clinical recognition may become challenging, leading to a more burdensome identification and sometimes to misdiagnosis.

J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol
May 2023
First Department of Dermatology-Venereology, Andreas Syggros Hospital, Medical School of Athens University, Athens, Greece.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the clinical and dermoscopic characteristics of cutaneous melanoma metastases (CMM) in 42 melanoma patients, noting that accurate diagnosis remains difficult due to variability in these features.
- Results showed that both male and female patients exhibited different dermoscopic patterns of CMM, with the homogenous and amelanotic types being the most prevalent, and specific patterns associated with the depth of the primary melanoma.
- The findings suggest that deeper melanomas are more likely to show vascular structures in their metastases, and in some cases, CMM may be the first sign of underlying melanoma.
Subungual Exostosis Presenting as a Pyogenic Granuloma-like Lesion with Reactive Myofibroblastic Proliferation in Two Young Women.
Dermatopathology (Basel)
June 2022
Department of Dermatopathology, St George's University Hospital, London SW17 0QT, UK.
Subungual exostosis (SE) is a well-recognised benign proliferation of the distal phalanx most often seen in young adults and affecting the big toe. Possible triggers include previous trauma and chronic irritation or infection. We describe two atypical cases of SE in two young women presenting with pyogenic granuloma-like lesions clinically.
