Penetrating ocular trauma is one of the most important causes of vision loss, especially in men, and can be associated with intraocular foreign bodies. The incidence of intraocular cilia after trauma is very low. Here we report the case of a 24-year-old man who visited Poostchi Ophthalmology Clinic (Shiraz, Iran) due to a gradual vision loss in his left eye over the past 2 months. The probable ...

intraocular metastatic tumors have been increasingly reported in the recent past. unlike choroidal metastasis, metastasis to retina is very rare and so far has been reported in very few case reports only. case presentation : a 56 year-old male who presented with a history of adenocarcinoma of the cecum and underwent lap colectomy for the primary cecal tumor, received adjuvant chemotherapy for a...

Preclinical studies designed to define potential side effects resulting from the use of hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD) photoradiation therapy (PRT) as a modality for treating intraocular tumors have been performed. Pigmented rabbits were used to evaluate acute normal ocular tissue toxicity following single HPD PRT treatments in which the light was directed through the pupil and onto a 1-sq cm...

this study was undertaken to examine the ability of spect in differentiation of a pulmonary lesion suspecions of lung cancr. a total of 170 patients with suspected lung cancer were studied. a dose of tl-201 chloride {148-296 mbq) was injected intravenously and tomographic early and delayed scans were obtained at 15 miniutes and 3 hours post injection, respectively. delayed tl-201 spect visulize...

PURPOSE To determine the safety of pars plana vitrectomy in eyes containing a treated posterior uveal melanoma. DESIGN Interventional case series. METHODS Retrospective case series of patients with posterior uveal melanoma who underwent pars plana vitrectomy. Complications, vitreous cytology, local tumor control, and metastasis were assessed.

OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical and histopathologic features of noncontiguous tumor recurrence after transscleral local resection of posterior uveal melanoma. METHODS Chart review was performed to identify patients with noncontiguous tumor recurrences from a series of 494 consecutive patients treated with transscleral local resection for uveal melanoma. The clinical and histopathologic fea...

The experiments reported here describe the derivation of an immunogenic melanoma cell line from B16 melanoma by sequential in vitro mutagenization with two chemical mutagens: n-methyl n-nitro n-nitrosoguanine (MNNG) and ethane methyl sulfonate (EMS). Following in vivo screening of over 100 mutant melanoma clones, a single clone was selected for further study. When transplanted to the anterior s...
