[ 1 ] - Granulocytic Sarcoma Presenting as Subconjunctival Mass
Chloroma or granulocytic sarcoma (GS) is a malignant neoplasm of myeloid lineage that occur in a variety of anatomic sites other than the bone marrow including soft tissue, bone, lymph node, nasal fossa, skin and sometime in the orbit. In the subconjunctiva it is rarely reported. A 4-year-old girl with a history of treated acute myelogenous leukemia was referred to Farabi Eye Hospital, Tehra...
[ 2 ] - Comparison of the Results of Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy Specimens and Permanent Histopathologic Preparation in Orbital Mass Lesions
Background and Objectives: We aimed at evaluating the efficacy of fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) in comparison with histopathology and demonstrating whether cytological study could be a proper diagnostic tool in orbital mass lesions. Materials and Methods: In a cross sectional study during 36 months, patients referred to our ophthalmologic center affiliated to Tehran University of Medical...
[ 3 ] - Quantification of Mean Vessel Density in Retinoblastoma and Its Correlation with Local Tumor Invasion and Patients Survival
Background and Objectives: Retinoblastoma is the most common intraocular pediatric malignancy. Angiogenic factor expression such as VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) in retinoblastoma can be confirmatory angiogenic potential of this tumor. This study was performed to determine the role of angiogenesis in local invasion of retinoblastoma and its correlation with patients’ sur...

Background and Objective: The frequency and pattern of eye neoplasms differ in various geographic areas. Our aim was to determine the distribution of patient age, gender, ocular tumor origin, location and histological type in our region. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, all of the 384 eye globe enucleation cases carried out during a 10-year period in Farabi Medical Cent...
[ 5 ] - فلور نرمال ملتحمه در نوزادان و شیرخواران
هدف: شناسایی فلور میکروبی نرمال ملتحمه به وسیله کشت در نوزادان حاصل سزارین و زایمان طبیعی (NVD) و شیرخواران سالم. روش پژوهش: نمونه ملتحمه از هر دو چشم 43 نوزاد حاصل سزارین و 53 نوزاد حاصل NVD و 54 شیرخوار سالم، گرفته شد که به سرعت، در محیط‌های انتقالی، به آزمایشگاه منتقل گردید و از نظر باکتری‌های هوازی و بی‌هوازی و قارچ‌ها کشت داده شد. یافته‌ها: شایع‌ترین باکتری‌های جداشده از نوزادان حاصل س...

[ 7 ] - Effect of 3 MHz ultrasound radiation on retinoblastoma cell line
Ultrasound hyperthermia is a new way to treat cancerous tumors. Retinoblastoma is one of the most common malignant ocular tumors in children. Since hyperthermia is an effective treatment for cancer cells, the effect of hyperthermia on retinoblastoma cells was investigated in this study. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of duration of 3 MHz ultrasound hyperthermia on Y79 cel...
