A

BCC

NOTE: also most common eyelid cancer

19
Q

Profile of BCC?

A
  1. Males
  2. Fair skin
  3. UV
  4. Malignancy of basal cells=shiny pearly nodule w surface TELANGIECTASIA –> rodent ulcer
20
Q

What is the 2nd most common eyelid malignancy?

A

Squamous cell carcinoma

NOTE: malignancy of the spinosum layer of epidermis AND MORE AGGRESSIVE than BCC

21
Q

Name the progression toward Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

A

ACTINIC KERATOSIS (pre-cancer) –> CIN (carcinoma in situ) –> SCC (malignany) = erythematous plaque, rough/scaly

(-) surface telangiectasia

22

A

Sebaceous Gland Carcinoma

NOTE: malignancy of sebaceous glands (Meibomian/Zeis). Can mimic BCC

23

A

Malignant melanoma

NOTE: malignancy of the melanocytes

24
Q

Prognosis of Malignant melanoma depends on?

A

DEPTH of invasion

25
Progression of Malignant Melanoma?
LENTIGO maligna (pre-cancer) + Primary Aquired Melanosis (PAM) --> MM
26
- Children/young adults - Hx bacterial/viral infection (vs sarcoid/grave's vs idiopathic orbital inflamm) - Swelling of outer 1/3 temporal upper lid - Acute S shaped ptosis (chronic > acute episodes) - (+) PAL - Redness
Dacryoadenitis
27
Relevant Lacrimal System Disorders?
1. Dacryoadenitis 2. Dacryocystitis 3. Canaliculitis 4. Nasolacrimal duct obstruction 5. Punctal Stenosis
28
- Ear/nose/throat infection - Lacrimal drainage obstructed - ACUTE PAIN >> - Kids
Dacryocystitis
29
Chronic cases of Dacryocystitis should raise suspicion for what?
Epithelial carcinomas and malignant lymphomas NOTE: carcinomas can express blood in the tear film w palpation of the lacrimal sac
30
- Viral/fungal - Actinomyces israelii (canals + yellow rocks) - Swollen pounting puncta - Unresponsive to Ab Tx, mis-Dx as conjunctivitis
Canaliculitis!
31
- Congenital (membranous block of valve of Hasner) - Acquired (involutional) - Unilateral epiphora - Reopens 1-2 months after birth - Can cause secondary dacryocystitis
Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction NOTE: 5-30% new borns
32
- Narrowing or occlusion of puncta of upper and/or lower lid - Older age - Epiphora
Punctal Stenosis
33
Which Jones I or II is a Patent System?
Jones 1 Meaning if you blow nose into tissue --> NaFl will follow If don't see NaFl --> (-) --> Obstruction --> Move on to Jones II
34
What does Reflex Fluid mean in Jones 2?
Upper/lower canaliculus blockage (proximal to common canaliculus)
35
What does retrograde flow through opposite canaliculus mean?
Nasolacrimal blockage
36
