Pleomorphic Adenoma of the Lacrimal Gland in an 18-Year-Old Girl Irradiated for Bilateral Retinoblastoma

Purpose: To report a case of pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland following irradiation for bilateral retinoblastoma. Materials and Methods: Case report. A 4-month-old girl, with bilateral retinoblastoma, underwent enucleation of the right eye, systemic chemotherapy and bilateral external beam irradiation with a lateral field. The right anophthalmic socket (because of infiltration of the optic nerve) and the left eye (for relapse) were irradiated;. 17 years later, she developed a mass in the superotemporal quadrant of the left orbit. The mass was completely excised. Results: Pleomorphic adenoma is rare in children and teenagers; it usually presents as a painless, slow growing mass in healthy adults. In this case, it developed as a second primary tumor after irradiation for retinoblastoma.

Iris tuberculous granuloma simulating medulloepithelioma

Purpose Pediatric ocular granuloma is a rare condition which may result from several causes including trauma, inflammatory diseases, or infectious agents such as fungi, viruses, or mycobacteria. The purpose of this case report is to increase the knowledge about the ophthalmic clinical picture, magnetic resonance imaging findings, histological pattern of a rare case of iris tubercular granuloma occurring in a 4‐year‐old boy.

I-LASIK retreatment of residual refractive errors after microkeratome and femtosecond assisted LASIK

Purpose To evaluate the efficacy and safety of femtosecond‐assisted sub‐bowman keratomileusis (I‐LASIK) retreatment for residual refractive errors after either I‐LASIK or microkeratome assisted LASIK.

Proteomic analysis of aqueous humor in retinoblastoma: a preliminary approach

Purpose Compare the basic protein composition of the aqueous humor from retinoblastoma (RTB) patients with aqueous humor from patients with cataract who served as controls.

Giant orbital retinoblastoma: a case report

Purpose The authors report a case of giant orbital Retinoblastoma following primary enucleation for intraocular tumor. The presence of worms was documented inside the necrotic tumoral mass.
