Follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) is the second most common type of thyroid cancer after papillary carcinoma. It usually grows slowly and is clinically indolent; but rarely, its aggressive forms with distant metastases can occur. We report here an uncommon case of bilateral orbital metastasis of FTC. A 70-year-old woman present...

IgG4-related disease is an immune-mediated disorder affecting almost all major organs of the body. A 62-year-old male, who was diagnosed with an orbital tumor and a nasal-orbital communicating tumor of the left eye, underwent endoscopic endonasal removal of the orbital tumor and fenestration of the ethmoid sinus. The tumor originated in the orbital tissue and showed pathological changes associa...

A huge retroperitoneal tumor with a right orbital mass was detected and proved to be an extragonadal nonseminomatous germ cell tumor on biopsy. BEP chemotherapy caused some regression in orbital mass however no change in retroperitoneal tumor size as well as serum tumor marker levels occurred. Herein, we present a rarely seen entity of extragonadal retroperitoneal nonseminomatous germ cell tumo...

purpose: to report an extremely rare presentation of isolated orbital xanthogranuloma with no systemic disease, nor dermatologic manifestation. case report: the patient was a 45-year-old man complaining of a mass lesion in the superior and inferior eyelids of his right eye; the lesions had been enlarging slowly and painlessly since 5 years before. other examinations (including skin, heart, etc....

background: giant cell tumor is a benign but locally aggressive bone neoplasm which uncommonly involves the skull. giant cell tumor (gct) of the sphenoid bone is relatively rare. in this report, we describe a tumor of the greater wing of left sphenoid bone. case presentation: a 31-year-old female was presented with headache, proptosis and diplopia of her left eye. cranial magnetic resonance ima...
