purpose : to report clinical and pathologic result of a young patient with isolated cavernous hemangioma of conjunctiva case report : a 26-year-old man who presented with smooth, red, lobular surface mass was seen in the bulbar conjunctiva in temporal side with engorged episcleral and conjunctival vessels around the lesion. excisional biopsy was performed. pathologist confirmed the diagnosis of...

purpose : to report the outcome of a case of primary conjunctival rhabdomyosarcoma treated by surgical excision combined with chemotherapy case report : a 4-year-old boy presented with a visible recurrence of conjunctival mass in the left eye. the orbital magnetic resonance imaging (mri) showed the lesion was confined to the conjunctiva without orbital infiltration. histology and immunophenotyp...

purpose : to assess the results of brachytherapy in patients with recurrent or incomplete excised conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma (scc) and malignant melanoma. methods : three patients underwent brachytherapy of one eye and one patient underwent brachytherapy of both eyes with ruthenium-106 (ru-106) plaques, all of them had a history of incomplete resection or recurrence of the tumor after...

Conjunctival choristoma presents as a painless epibulbar mass comprising epidermal and dermal tissues. Histopathological evidence helps to establish the diagnosis. The tumor manifests in childhood, nonetheless, it may also be seen adolescents.

PURPOSE In conjunctival melanoma, tumor thickness and nonlimbal location are associated with poor prognosis. However, other established high-risk features for cutaneous melanoma, including ulceration, mitotic figures, epithelioid cell type, and lymphovascular invasion, have not previously been studied extensively for their prognostic value in conjunctival melanoma. We examined the hypothesis th...

Conjunctival hemangioma over the age of 60 is rare, with few cases reported in the literature. We present a unique case of a conjunctival capillary hemangioma, adding to the sparse literature of this uncommon vascular tumor. Here, we present an interesting case of spontaneous development of this tumor at age 68, without associated systemic disease process or cutaneous manifestations.

Myxoma is a benign soft tissue tumor that presumably derives from primitive mesenchyme. It is characterized histopathologically by abundant mucoid material, a loose meshwork of reticulin fibers, and relatively small numbers of spindleand stellate-shaped cells. The stromal matrix is rich in glucosaminoglycans and hyaluronic acid, and it is sparse in collagen and vascular structures. Myxoma can a...
