In this Japanese cohort, an eyelid mass was the main clinical presentation of sebaceous carcinoma. Contrary to previous reports, T2a tumours smaller than 10 mm were associated with regional nodal metastases.
Bisphosphonates have a pro-inflammatory effect, which can precipitate orbital inflammation. This rare, but potentially serious complication of bisphosphonate treatment should be considered by clinicians using bisphosphonate treatment and by ophthalmologists seeing patients with orbital inflammatory disease.
PLGPAs have varied clinical and radiological features. Common radiological features are a heterogeneous internal architecture on T2-weighted MRI, an enhancing rim on T1FS-Gad MRI, smooth or scalloped bony excavation with intact cortical bone, and globe indentation. Cystic spaces, calcification, and symptom duration less than 6 months are common, but pain is rare. Awareness of the clinico-radiological variants of PLGPA is important when considering incisional biopsy of a lacrimal gland mass.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
