Cervical melanosis is a rare entity in the spectrum of melanocytic lesions of uterine cervix. Melanosis is defined as presence of melanocytes in the basal layer of squamous epithelium causing hyperpigmentation. Authors here by report a case of 57-year-old female who underwent vaginal hysterectomy for third degree utero-vaginal prolapse, showed an incidental gross pathological finding of brownish macular lesion. Histopathological examination showed hyperpigmentation of basal layer without increase in melanocytes. On immunohistochemical examination, basal melanocytes were highlighted by S-100 and HMB 45 immunostains. Thus final diagnosis of cervical melanosis was made. Clinical differentials of cervical pigmented melanocytic lesions include cervical melanomas, blue nevi, congenital or traumatic lesions and melanosis, hence vigilant clinical, gross pathological examination and biopsy is warranted.

Torpedo Maculopathy

Abstract Background: Torpedo maculopathy is a rare, benign, and congenital macular lesion that typically appears in ‘torpedo-shape’ and is located at the temporal macula region. This article aimed to describe in detail regarding the torpedo maculopathy in a Chinese woman using multimodal imaging. Case presentation: A 30-year-old Chinese woman with occasional yellowish-white macular lesions in her right eye during a routine examination was presented to our hospital. She had no symptoms, and the best-corrected visual acuity of both eyes was 6/6. Funduscopic examination revealed a torpedo-shaped and mild hypopigmentation lesion in the temporal macular area of her right eye. Infrared fundal (IR) photograph showed that the lesion contour was visible, transverse elliptical, with a tip pointing towards the central fovea of the macula. Microperimetry visual field appeared normal. The spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) showed a normal inner retina, with mild thinner outer retina and RPE in the temporal macular area, and correspondingly increased choroidal reflectivity. Other OCT findings included outer retinal loss/attenuation with significant atrophy of an intact ellipsoid zone. OCT angiography (OCTA) of choroid capillary layer revealed increased density of choroidal vasculature, corresponding to the area of the lesion, while the superficial and deep layers revealed normal vasculature. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) revealed normal signal with slight hyperautofluorescence at the nasal lesion margin. Fundus fluorescence angiography (FFA) of the lesion showed variegated fluorescence and no leakage and change in the morphology during the whole imaging process. Conclusions: This is the first report that put forwarded a thorough and detailed description of torpedo maculopathy simultaneously by using fundal photograph, IR, microperimetry visual field, OCT, OCTA, FAF, and FFA. Multimodal imaging provides precious and detailed information to further clarify the characteristics and development of this rare disease.

Severity Of The Disease

Stargardt disease (STGD) is the most common form of recessively inherited macular dystrophy. It is characterized by the presence of an atrophic macular lesion, which is surrounded by irregular, white-yellow, deep retinal lesions (flecks). There is wide variability in age at onset, visual acuity, fundus appearance, and severity of the disease. Fundus examination can be normal but visual acuity can be reduced early in the course of the disease. In these patients, pattern electroretinogram (PERG) and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) will be helped in establishing the diagnosis of STGD. The typical sign of “choroidal silence” or dark choroid on fluorescein angiography (FA) is not present in all patients with STGD and is not specific to this condition.

Purpose To describe a unique unilateral association between an iris stromal tumor and a macular focal choroidal excavation. Case Description A 40-year old patient presented with a small iris tumor associated with a unilateral macular lesion disclosed during a routine ophthalmologic examination. The patient was asymptomatic and visual function was not affected. After clinical and instrumental evaluation, a diagnosis of nonmelanocytic undefined stromal tumor of the iris associated with macular focal choroidal excavation was made. The size and shape of the two lesions remained stable during a 7-year follow-up and the patient did not develop other signs. Conclusion The concurrent presence of a stromal iris tumor associated with focal choroidal excavation has never been reported. Further reports of this association are required in order to understand its exact pathogenesis.
