Dermoid Tumour on Cornea and Sclerotic
نویسنده
چکیده
Sie,?Out here, a short time ago, I had an interesting case of dermoid tumour. I had never before seen-one like it, neither is the affection mentioned in Macnamara's book, but Lawson and Wells both, I believe, give it a casual paragraph. It was a case of dermoid tumour on the cornea and sclerotic, being about three lines in diameter, half on the cornea and half on the sclerotic. It was of the same brown colour as the skin of the face, and had three long black hairs growing from it. It obscured vision somewhat, as it was prominent enough to allow of its being seen by the patient. I dissected it off carefully, and he got perfectly well, the cicatrix contracting to about half.

Mutation in PITX2 is associated with ring dermoid of the cornea.
R ing dermoid of the cornea (RDC, MIM180550) is an autosomal dominantly inherited syndrome characterised by bilateral annular limbal dermoids with corneal and conjunctival extension. The genetic basis of RDC is unknown. We report linkage of chromosome 4q24q26 to RDC and identification of a missense mutation in PITX2 in 17 disease affected individuals but not in eight genetically related normal ...

Dermoid cyst: a rare tumour of the appendix.
Dermoid cyst is a rare but well recognised cause of a mass in the abdomen. As a cause of a palpable mass in the right iliac fossa, dermoid and epidermoid cysts of the caecum have hitherto been described. We here report a case of a dermoid cyst arising from the vermiform appendix.
