Lumps and Bumps Flashcards
Conjunctival tumours
Benign: Neavi, Limbal dermoid, cyts, papilloma, graniloma
Malignant: melanoma, carcinoma, lymphoma
conjuctival neavus
benign lesion
from birth?
near the limbus, cystic, brown, move with conjunctival manipulation
nevus of ota
oculodermal melanocytosis diffuse distribution or proliferated melanocytes asymptomatic doesn't become malignant- no treatment unliatera facial/ ocular blue stuff follows trigenimal nerve distribution
primary acquired meloncytis
middle aged women unilaterla, flat, indistinct, region of conjuctiva infrior and superior fornices stable- smaller?? colour change? could become malignant?
limbal dermoid
collagen tissue covered by epithelium congenital benign tumour overly fleshy lesion in children white/grey/pink/white dry eye? irritation cosmetic problems fools up- excision
conjunctivval inclusion cyst
closed sac containing fluid/ semisolid material secondary to tumour/surgery cosmetic probs prevents eye closure excision
conjunctival papilloma
infection with papilloma viruses young px fleshy mass with vascular tufts surgery/vit A/sterois/interferon high recurrence
Pyogenic granuloma
wound healing process
fibrovasculirsed tissue growth
occurs over chalazion, strabismus surgery, pterygium surgery, chronic irritation from nasolacrimal tubing/punctal pungs
ovoid mass with pedunculated base, adherent to underlying sclera
IRRITATION/ INADeQUATe LID CLOSURE/ CORNEAL DELLEN
EXCISION
squamous carcinoma
older white px
sun exposure, light skin, jobs outside
pink fleshy mass, elevated, limbus, IPA, cORNEA? corkscrew vessels, leukoplakia,
NODULAR/DIFFUSE
intraocual- glaucoma, pas, iris neovascularusation
RISK OF SPREADING TO BRAIN
conjunctival melanoma
ppoor diagnosis, refere, surgery aised/flat nodular pigmented area white skin, early 50;s feeder vessels fixation to underlying tissue extends limbus due to primary acquired melanoma, and neavus?
lymphoma
salmon, slow progressing, forniceal, bulbar/palpebral conjunctiva
sign of sytemi lymphoma??
send px to haematologist
DD with squamous papilloma, granuloma
Tumour of the uvea
iris tumours
choroidal tumours
iris tumours
iris neavus
iris cysts
iris melanoma
metastasis
irirs neavus
benign, flat, brown, freckle
meloncytes on iris- iris from pupil to TM
asymptopmatic
iris pigment epithelial cyts
round, smooth, like a bulge, iridiocillary junction, thin wall
single/multiple
plateu iris config/
watch for glaucoma attacks
