Isolated choroidal metastasis from primary adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus: a case report.

We present a case of a 41-year-old male patient who, 1 year after transhiatal esophagectomy and transmediastinal gastroplasty for an adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus, presented with an isolated metastasis in the choroids of the left eye. Because of pains caused by secondary glaucoma, enucleation of the left eyeball had to be performed as the treatment of choice. At 1 year after surgery of the eye, the secondaries in both adrenal glands were revealed. Despite the applied chemotherapy, the patient died with signs of generalized disease 3 years after the initial surgery.

[Should keratoacanthoma be treated surgically?].

Keratoacanthoma is a rapidly growing cutaneous neoplasia of adult persons that may regress spontaneously. It is believed to arise from the hair follicles. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish keratoacantoma from squamous cell carcinoma either clinically or histologically. During ten years period (1992-2001) we were treating 18 patients with keratoacanthoma of the skin. We discuss here our experience with this tumor, and we conclude that early, complete excision is the treatment of choice for it.

[Surgical treatment of lesions of the lacrimal caruncle].

Each lesion which produces a prolong change of the volume of the caruncle necessitates surgical treatment, removal of the caruncle. Caruncular lesions are uncommon. During 15 years on the Institute for eye diseases in Belgrade authors have treated 121 caruncular lesions. Here they present their way of surgical treatment of the caruncle and point out some problems connect with this procedure.

Malignant teratoid medulloepithelioma in an adult.

A 50-year-old man presented with a reddish, well-vascularized mass in the region of a nasal iridodialysis of his left eye, pushing the whole iris in this sector forwards; the mass had a pinkish, partly cystic appearance in the pupil. The tumour was transparent on diaphanoscopy. A-scan sonography revealed a solid tumour of the ciliary body with partial retinal detachment suggesting a malignant melanoma. Fluorescein biomicroscopy did not confirm this suspicion. The enucleated eye demonstrated a malignant teratoid medulloepithelioma of the whole nasal and lower ciliary body, infiltrating the deep iris stroma, the anterior choroid, the neighbouring vitreous body and spreading along the inner retinal surface back to the equator of the eye. The occurrence of medulloepithelioma in adult and senior persons is rather exceptional and this is the reason for this publication.

Predictors of survival in malignant melanoma of the conjunctiva: a clinico-pathological and follow-up study.

The study comprised 61 patients with histologically diagnosed malignant melanoma of the conjunctiva (MMC) who were treated and followed up in the Department of Ophthalmology, Clinical Center of Serbia, Belgrade, over a period of 24 years (1970-1993). Data on 15 clinical and 10 histopathological characteristics of MMC were related to the outcome of the disease. Tumour thickness on the histological section was the most important single predictor of survival in MMC. Other predictors of survival in MMC were the number of mitoses, the histologically assessed degree of tumour pigmentation and the intensity of inflammation at the tumour site. The variables entered into the model comprised as much as 85.3% of all predictors of survival in MMC.
