AI Article Synopsis

  • Adnexal neoplasms of the eyelid include various benign and malignant tumors originating from sebaceous, follicular, and sweat glands.
  • These tumors present uniquely on the eyelids, making accurate identification crucial for maintaining eye health and overall quality of life.
  • The text reviews both common and rare eyelid tumors, along with their clinical appearance, histopathologic features, and potential treatment strategies.

Article Abstract

Adnexal neoplasms of the eyelid encompass a wide variety of benign and malignant tumors of sebaceous, follicular, and sweat gland origin. Due to the specialized structures of the eyelid, these neoplasms present differently when compared with those of other locations. Although most dermatologists and ophthalmologists are familiar with the commonly reported adnexal tumors of the eyelid, such as hidrocystoma, pilomatrixoma, and sebaceous carcinoma, many other adnexal neoplasms have been reported at this unique anatomic site. Accurate and timely identification of these neoplasms is essential, as alterations of eyelid anatomy and function can have a negative impact on eye health, vision, and quality of life. We review the clinical and histopathologic features of common and rare eyelid adnexal neoplasms and discuss proposed treatment options.

Background And Aims: Benign ovarian neoplasms are common in the pediatric population. In young adult women, oophorectomy has been shown to negatively impact long-term ovarian endocrine function. Recently, ovarian-sparing surgery (OSS) has been proposed as it offers similar results to oophorectomy in terms of recurrence rates.

To determine the feasibility of implementing Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting & Data System (O-RADS) ultrasound (US) for reporting of adnexal masses at our institution, with a specific goal of increasing the use of O-RADS from a baseline of <5% to at least 75% over a 16-month period. A prospective interrupted time series quality improvement study was undertaken over a 16-month period. Plan, do, study, act cycles included: (1) Engagement of interested parties, (2) Targeted educational sessions, (3) Development of reporting templates, (4) Weekly audit-feedback.

Objective To assess the value of the MRI-based ovarian-adnexal reporting and data system (O-RADS MRI) for the diagnosis of adnexal masses. Methods A total of 407 patients who underwent dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE)-MRI and pathological examination (gold standard) at the Department of Radiology,Central Hospital of Wuhan between May 2017 and December 2022 were enrolled in this study.Two radiologists performed the O-RADS MRI scoring of adnexal masses according to MRI features and calculated the malignancy rate of adnexal masses by O-RADS MRI score,enhancement type,and mass type.

Oncocytic Carcinoma Ex-Pleomorphic Adenoma of the Lacrimal Gland.

January 2025

Adnexal Service, Moorfields Eye Hospital, London EC1V 2PD, United Kingdom.

Oncocytic carcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm of oncocytic cells, such cells being characterized by abundant granular eosinophilic cytoplasm, invasive growth, and pronounced cellular pleomorphism. It may arise de novo, or through malignant transformation of a pre-existing benign oncocytoma. Oncocytic carcinoma most commonly occurs in the salivary glands, with rare involvement of the ocular adnexa where it mainly affects caruncle, conjunctiva, and lacrimal sac, and only very arises in the lacrimal gland.

Background: Digital papillary adenocarcinoma (DPAC) is a rare but aggressive cutaneous malignant sweat gland neoplasm that occurs on acral sites. Despite its clinical significance, the cellular and genetic characteristics of DPAC remain incompletely understood.

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive genomic and transcriptomic analysis of DPAC (n = 14) using targeted next-generation DNA and RNA sequencing, along with gene expression profiling employing the Nanostring Technologies nCounter IO 360 Panel.
