Clinical Treatise

Because the treatment of neoplastic processes in childhood appears ever more promising, there is a quickening of interest in more complete knowledge of these disorders in childhood. The present volume is primarily of interest as a complication of the extensive experience of one of the larger centers concerned with the treatment of tumors in children. Although this experience is compared with other reports in the literature, the chief emphasis is on the personal experience and opinions of the author. The information given in connection with clinical aspects of various tumors should be helpful to the practitioner in recognition, diagnosis and management of the impressive variety of benign and malignant tumors which appear during infancy and childhood.

Molecular Landscape

Lung cancer (LC), is the most common and lethal cancer worldwide. It affects both sexes and in its early stages is clinically silent, until it reaches a more advanced stage, when it becomes highly incurable. In order to improve the high mortality associated with LC there has been an urgent need for screening high risk patients by low dose CT scan (LDCT) for the early detection of small resectable malignant tumors. However, while highly sensitive to detect small lung nodules, LDCT is non-specific, resulting in a compelling need for a complementary diagnostic tool. For example, a non-invasive blood test or liquid biopsy, (LB), could prove quite useful to confirm a diagnosis of malignancy prior to definitive therapy. With the advent of LB becoming increasingly clinically accepted in the diagnosis and management of LC, there has been an explosion of publications highlighting new technologies for the isolation of and detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cell free tumor DNA (cfDNA). The enormous potential for LB to play an important role in the diagnosis and management of LC to obtain valuable diagnostic information via an approach that may yield equivalent information to a surgical biopsy, regarding the presence of cancer and its molecular landscape is described.

Abstract Background Anterior high-resolution optical coherence tomography (HR-OCT) is a novel non-invasive in vivo imaging modality that can assist in the diagnosis and management of various ophthalmic pathologies. The implementation of diagnosing ocular surface lesions has been explored in previous studies, successfully revealing specific signs in some ocular lesions. This case report aims to exhibit a case of corneal squamous hyperplasia diagnosed via anterior HR-OCT, prior to surgical intervention. Case presentation A 69 year-old male had blurred vision and foreign body sensation OD for several weeks. A rapidly-grown corneal mass was presented, showing an appearance of a grayish flesh-colored mass with elastic texture. Large vessels supplying the mass were also found. Anterior HR-OCT was performed, and the results suggested the lesion be benign hyperplasia. Superficial keratectomy was done, and the pathologic report showed mild-appearing epithelial squamous hyperplasia, which confirmed the analysis via anterior HR-OCT. Conclusion In the categorization by Nanji, et al. of corneal surface diseases using anterior OCT, the comparative epithelial thickness (normal range: 47—68 μm); inferior border obscuration of epithelium (normal or benign inferior border: no shadowing); reflectivity of epithelial layer (normal: not hyper-reflective); abrupt transition (normal: no horizontally abrupt transition); and sub-epithelium analysis vary between benign and malignant lesions (normal: demarcated anterior to Bowman’s layer), and the differences are systemically sorted. We applied all these characteristics to our patient as guidance, and the measurement results indicated the lesion be a benign lesion, which is consistent with the tissue pathology. Anterior HR-OCT is overall a non-invasive and timely method capable of assisting the diagnosis of ocular surface disease, predicting the qualities of a lesion, and determining the follow-up treatment plan.

Introductions: The pattern of ocular malignant tumors in institutes of Eastern Nepal was analyzed by a retrospective study. Ocular malignant tumors are relatively rare compared to other eye lesions, and require immediate diagnosis and management. Ignorance or unawareness can result into debility, loss of vision, and even death. This study provides spectrum of ocular malignant tumor correlating its pathological and clinical findings.Methods: This cross sectional study includes ninety-six cases of ocular malignant tumors diagnosed in the department of pathology from January 2005 to December 2009. Relevant history, clinical findings and light microscopic findings were reviewed. Descriptive analysis was done.Results: A total of 96 patient’s records were studied. Age ranged between 1-90 years. Male to female ratio was 1.4:1. Retinoblastoma was found in 34.5%, basal cell carcinoma in (18%), squamous cell carcinoma in 14.5% and malignant melanoma in 10.5%.Conclusions: Early diagnosis and management help to reduce debility and loss of vision in the patients as well as help ophthalmologist in shaping the strategy for diagnosis and management of malignant neoplasm. This help in decreasing morbidity and mortality of the patient. Journal of Patan Academy of Health Sciences, Vol. 3, No. 1, 2016. page: 15-17
