Friedman external dz/adnexa Flashcards
Lid lesion DDx
squamous cell carcinoma (or SCC variant - keratoacanthoma) BCC Sebaceous cell carcinoma inflamed actinic keratosis tricholemmoma Merkel cell tumor
Merkel cell tumor
Merkel cell carcinoma Highly malignant with frequent metastases at presentation Fast-growing, violaceous,
Keratoacnthoma Rx
complete excision of lesion
Sebaceous cell carcinoma Rx
wide excsiion with frozen section and conjunctival map Bx
Exenteration - performed for orbital extension or pagetoid spread
XRT for palliation
Scleritis DDx
Systemic assoc (50%) 30% have collagen vascular dz - RA, ankylosing spondylitis, SLE, polyarteritis nodosa, Wegener's, relapsing polychondritis
Other etiologies - herpes zoster, syphilis, TB, leprosy, gout, porphyria, idiopathic
Work-up: CBC with diff, RF/anti-CCP, ANA, ANCA, VDRL/RPR, FTA-ABS, PPD, CXR
what dz causes anterior necrotizing scleritis w/o inflammation (scleromalacia perforans)?
RA
signs of posterior scleritis
chorioretinal folds serous RD vitritis ON edema "T" sign - thickened sclera on B-scan U/S
Conjunctival lesion DDx and next step
CIN (atypical cells confined to the epithelium w/o penetration of BM often @ limbus, usually no KNV) lymphoid lesion pterygium/pinguecula papilloma squamous cell carcinoma
Excisional Bx
Rx for squamous cell carcinoma
Treatment?
Excision with 4mm margins & thin scleral flap
Treat base with alcohol
Treat margins with cryo
Topical interferon, MMC, 5-FU gtts if large
Gelatinous lesion
Location?
Interpalpebral zone near limbus

Children: HPV 6 & 11
Adults: HPV 16 & 18
Pathology?

Fibrovascular tissue growth usu. over chalazion or conj surface surgery
Usu. fleshy lesion on palpebral conjunctiva
Pathology:
Small-caliber vasculature
Collagen stroma
Entropion evaluation and types
