BACKGROUND Enucleation is a topic discussed in psychiatry which is a self-injury matter. Enucleation is observed as psychotic disorder due to substance abuse. In people with mental disorders who also have substance use leading to hallucinations and delusions, unusual eye evacuation were reported. In most cases, enucleation was done using sharp tools. CASE REPORT This report describes a man su...

This is a brief clinical report describing an 18-month-old female with Robin sequence found to have an incidental mandibular cystic lesion on a head computed tomography scan in the preoperative workup before performing mandibular distraction. She underwent enucleation of the tumor, which was found to be a dentigerous cyst. One year following cyst enucleation, mandibular distraction was performe...

The standard management for the majority of benign jaw cysts is enucleation, marsupialisation, curettage and decompression. Enucleation has the advantage that the whole specimen is sent for microscopic evaluation so that more sinister pathological processes (i.e. squamous cell carcinoma) may not be missed. In a large cystic lesion, enucleation is still possible, but technical difficulties might...

The prognosis following treatment of uveal melanomata depends not only on factors such as cell type and degree of mitotic activity, size and location of the tumour, and the age of the patient, but also on the method of enucleation, as surgical manipulation of the neoplasm may potentiate the shedding of malignant cells into the blood stream. One hundred and thirty-one patients treated by differe...

OBJECTIVES To clarify the natural history of the odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) and to evaluate treatments with respect to the likelihood of recurrence. STUDY DESIGN A systematic review of the literature was completed pertaining to the treatment and prognosis of the OKC. Each investigation was evaluated based on 4 inclusion criteria. Each study that met the 4 inclusion criteria was then evaluat...

PURPOSE To investigate tumor thickness and location, the interval of time between treatment for choroidal melanoma (proton beam irradiation or enucleation) and diagnosis of metastatic disease, and rates and sites of metastasis. DESIGN Retrospective, interventional, noncomparative case series. METHODS Follow-up of 152 patients with primary choroidal melanoma, between 1992 and 2006 (14 years)...

One characteristic of the erythroid terminal differentiation is hemoglobin expression and enucleation. In the present study, by using real-time cultured Friend Virus Anemia-inducing (FVA) cells, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), immunofluorescence combined with laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM), the FVA cells induced by Erythropoietin (EPO) for were used for: 1) to study the shape and...

In mammals, the functional unit for definitive erythropoiesis is the erythroblastic island, a multicellular structure composed of a central macrophage surrounded by developing erythroblasts. Erythroblast-macrophage interactions play a central role in the terminal maturation of erythroblasts, including enucleation. One possible mediator of this cell-cell interaction is the protein Emp (erythrobl...

The placement of a motility coupling post (MCP) to integrate the prosthesis with a porous orbital implant may enhance prosthetic motility following enucleation. Previously, MCP placement has required a second operation usually at least 6 months following enucleation. We developed a technique to place an MCP reliably and safely into a porous orbital implant at the time of enucleation. Eligibilit...

SUMMARY Diffuse infiltrating retinoblastoma is a rare form of retinoblastoma. We report two cases of this disease in which sonographic, CT, and MR imaging findings were compared with histologic studies obtained after enucleation. Although nonspecific, MR imaging provides valuable morphologic data for the diagnosis of diffuse infiltrating retinoblastoma and may help in decisions regarding enucle...
