    3464: Surgical treatment of lacrimal gland tumours

    ACTA OPHTHALMOLOGICA, Issue 2010
    D BRISCOE
    Purpose The surgical treatment of Lacrimal gland tumors is often controversial and not so clear cut. Imaging and a full systemic evaluation lead to the decision as to which surgical approach best serves our purposes. The surgical management of Lacrimal gland tumors is discussed and the results of 31 cases in my experience are presented. Methods The surgical approach used is carefully chosen according to the type of disease presentation. All 31 patients in this series had neuroimaging and full work up and 30 underwent incision or excision biopsy. Selected cases are discussed. Results : Surgical Approaches chosen for the Lacrimal gland in this case series included Trans-Septal Orbitotomy, and Lateral Orbitotomy. Disease spectrum included Idiopathic orbital inflammatory disease (8), Orbital Sarcoid (7), Lymphoma (3), Sjrogens disease (3), Benign Mixed Tumour (2), Infectious mononucleosis (2) Angiolymphoid Hyperplasia (2), Sebaceous Cell Carcinoma (1), Churge Strause syndrome (1), Dermoid Cyst (1), Epithelial Inclusion Cyst(1). Conclusion Biopsy of a Lacrimal gland mass is relatively simple and is recommended. The approach should be considered carefully and an excision biopsy should be performed where possible. Surgical management and surprising pathology results can have significant implications for the patient. [source]

    Epidermal inclusion cyst: Cytomorphological features and differential diagnosis

    DIAGNOSTIC CYTOPATHOLOGY, Issue 12 2008
    Uma Handa M.D.
    Abstract Aspirates from 162 epidermal inclusion cysts (EIC) from 157 patients were analyzed in order to elaborate on specific cytologic features. The most common site involved was the head and neck region (96 cases; 59.2%). The maximum patients were in the 3rd and 4th decades of life. Aspirates from EIC showed a clear background, with high cellularity, and nucleate and anucleate squames. Keratinous material was seen in some cases but the amount was less compared with the cellular elements. In 31 cases, a diagnosis of infected EIC was made on the basis of dense inflammatory infiltrate in addition to the squames. Histopatholgy was available in 56 cases out of which EIC was diagnosed in 45 cases. The remaining 11 cases were dermoid cyst (5 cases), branchial cyst (2 cases), pilomatricoma (2 cases), and sebaceous and thyroglossal cyst (1 case each). Thus, EIC should be differentiated from other squamous cell containing lesions. Diagn. Cytopathol. 2008. © 2008 Wiley-Liss, Inc. [source]

    Myoepithelioma of the Skin with P63 Expression

    JOURNAL OF CUTANEOUS PATHOLOGY, Issue 1 2005
    M.J. Smith-Zagone
    A case of cutaneous myoepithelioma is reported. A 37 year-old woman presented with a 2 cm well-circumscribed dermal nodule of the forehead. The tumor was enucleated with the clinical diagnosis of an epidermal inclusion cyst. Histologically, the tumor was located within the dermis and was well circumscribed. It was composed of spindle-shaped and epithelioid cells arranged in organoid nests. Focal areas of extracellular hyalinized stroma were present. Well-defined glandular structures, chondroid matrix, and significant nuclear pleomorphism were absent. The tumor expressed widespread cytoplasmic positivity for cytokeratin (using AE1/AE3) and nuclear positivity for p63. Variable reactivity was noted with EMA and S-100. The tumor was negative for smooth muscle actin, GFAP, chromogranin, synaptophysin, and CEA. These immunohistochemical results supported myoepithelial differentiation. Myoepitheliomas of the skin are rare neoplasms that have only recently been recognized in the skin. A single publication has reported the diagnostic utility of p63 in the diagnosis of myoepithelial tumors of the skin. Myoepitheliomas often display variable expression of myoepithelial markers, with no single marker that is 100% sensitive. The current case highlights the need for a battery of markers, including p63, to detect myoepithelial differentiation. [source]

    Relationship between sonographic and pathologic findings in epidermal inclusion cysts

    JOURNAL OF CLINICAL ULTRASOUND, Issue 7 2001
    Hak Soo Lee MD
    Abstract Purpose We evaluated the sonographic findings in epidermal inclusion cysts and related them to the pathologic findings. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the sonograms and pathology specimens of 24 patients with pathologically proven epidermal inclusion cysts. We evaluated the lesions for shape, size, internal echogenicity, posterior sound enhancement, and presence of color Doppler signals. We classified the masses into 5 sonographic types according to their internal echogenicity. The relationship between the sonographic types and the pathologic findings was examined. Results The masses were ovoid or spherical in 17 cases (71%), lobulated in 5 (21%), and tubular in 2 (8%). The longest diameter ranged from 1 to 6 cm (mean, 3.1 cm). Twenty-three cases (96%) were associated with posterior sound enhancement. Color Doppler signals were absent in 20 cases, but some vascularity was noted in 4 ruptured epidermal cysts, in areas of granulation tissue. The most common sonographic type was a hypoechoic lesion with scattered echogenic reflectors (10 cases). Sonographic findings were related to the lamellation of keratin debris and the granulation tissue secondary to rupture. Most cases with a lobulated configuration (4 of 5) or color Doppler signals (4 of 4) were ruptured cysts. Conclusions Epidermal inclusion cysts most often appeared sonographically as a hypoechoic mass containing variable echogenic foci without color Doppler signals. Ruptured epidermal cysts, however, may have lobulated contours and show color Doppler signals, mimicking a solid mass. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound 29:374,383, 2001 [source]

    Post-traumatic inclusion cysts of the iris: a longterm prospective case series

    Abstract. Purpose:, Post-traumatic cysts of the iris pose a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for ophthalmic surgeons. This prospective case series highlights the clinical spectrum and longterm outcomes of different modes of treatment in these cases. Methods:, Eleven cases of post-traumatic iris inclusion cysts, treated with Nd:YAG laser and/or surgical excision were evaluated prospectively over periods ranging from 6 months to 3 years. Ultrasound biomicroscopy features and postoperative outcomes in each were evaluated. Results:, Laser iridotomy of the cyst offers a non-invasive method of therapy in these cases but has a high rate of recurrence. The outcomes in most cases were poor, with worse results and more complications encountered in younger age groups. Conclusions:, Iris inclusion cysts have overall poor surgical outcomes as the result of the extensive proliferation of epithelial cells, which may explain why the condition takes a rapid course in younger patients and why severe complications are encountered postoperatively in this age group.
