Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep

Ophthalmology Department, Security Forces Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Published: December 2019

Purpose: To describe the clinical presentation, management, and histopathological results of a congenital eccrine hidrocystoma.

Observations: A 4-year-old healthy boy presented with left upper eyelid ptosis and superonasal painless mass since birth. Computed tomography showed a hypodense cystic lesion located in the extraconal orbital compartment medially. Following complete excision, histopathology revealed an eccrine hidrocystoma.

Conclusions And Importance: Orbital eccrine hidrocystomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of orbital cystic masses in the pediatric age group.

Article Synopsis
  • Enfortumab vedotin (EV) is a targeted therapy for urothelial carcinoma, and this study evaluates its effectiveness for treating certain skin tumors by assessing Nectin-4 expression.
  • Researchers analyzed various skin adnexal carcinomas and benign tumors through immunohistochemical staining, finding that malignant tumors had significantly higher Nectin-4 expression than benign ones.
  • The study concludes that since many cutaneous adnexal carcinomas, particularly sebaceous carcinomas, exhibit high Nectin-4 levels, EV could be a viable treatment option for these cancers.
