Lesions of the caruncle: a clinicohistopathologic study.

This study reports 112 caruncular lesions seen in the Eye Pathology Laboratory of the Wilmer Institute during a 52-year period (1923--1976). These uncommon lesions are analyzed with regard to their relative occurrence and their clinical and histologic features. Clinical grouping of these lesions is presented to help in the differential diagnosis of caruncular lesions. Nevi, papillomas, and sebaceous gland hyperplasia were the most commonly encountered lesions, accounting for 65% of the total.

Racquetball. A game with preventable injuries.

One hundred fifty-seven racquetball injuries were identified. Eighty-two involved the face, but ocular injuries were probably underrepresented as a result of patient triage protocols. Facial trauma occurred more frequently among novice players. Only 9.9% of the players wore protective facial equipment and 23.1% had taken lessons before being injured. We propose that injuries could be reduced with proper player education, including the wearing of protective facial equipment. A modification in the design of conventional facial equipment is suggested to further reduce injury.
