Immunohistologic features predict clinical behavior of orbital and conjunctival lymphoid infiltrates

Benign Cutaneous Lymphoid Infiltrates

The skin represents one of the organs in which the vast majority of diseases are associated with some manner of cutaneous lymphoid infiltration, or infiltration by other inflammatory cells. Just as benign processes can result in inflammatory disorders, so also atypical and malignant infiltrates of the skin can present a variety of different clinical manifestations. In addition to the classic in...

Extra-conjunctival Orbital Implants.

Orbital pseudotumor: clinical features and outcomes.

To describe the clinical characteristics of orbital pseudotumor, a retrospective analysis was performed on patients with orbital pseudotumor at Siriraj Hospital for ten years. Forty-nine patients (24 males and 25 females; 62 eyes) with a mean age of 43.75 years were included (a mean follow-up of 25 months). Thirty-six patients (73.5%) had unilateral disease. The clinical features were proptosis...

Orbital lymphangioma: clinical features and management.

PURPOSE To report 5 cases of orbital lymphangioma. METHODS All patients underwent ophthalmological, clinical and neuroradiological evaluation. RESULTS At presentation all patients (4 children and one adult patient) had unilateral proptosis. Restricted eye movement was present in 3 patients, ptosis and amblyopia in 2. Compressive optic neuropathy with visual loss was noticed in one patient. ...

Uveal lymphoid infiltrates: immunohistochemical evidence for a lymphoid neoplasia.

A 67-year-old man presented with a diffuse choroidal and ciliary body infiltrate, suggesting clinically and ultrasonographically a diffuse uveal melanoma. After enucleation both morphological and immunohistochemical data were highly suggestive of a diffuse, low-grade B cell lymphoma or lymphoplasmacytic immunocytoma. The difficulties of clinical and histopathological differential diagnosis of u...
