Factors associated with elevated intraocular pressure in eyes with iris melanoma. (1/30)
AIM: To identify clinical factors associated with secondary elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in eyes with iris malignant melanoma METHODS: A retrospective case series of 169 consecutive patients with microscopically confirmed iris malignant melanoma. The main outcome measure was the presence of tumour induced secondary elevated IOP. Cox proportional regression models were used to calculate the relation of clinical features to elevated IOP. RESULTS: Of 169 patients with microscopically proved iris melanoma, 50 (30%) presented with tumour induced secondary elevated IOP. The mean pressure in those eyes with elevated IOP at diagnosis was 33 mm Hg (median 31 mm Hg, range 23-65 mm Hg). The tumour configuration was nodular in 23 (46%) and diffuse in 27 (54%) with a mean base dimension of 7.4 mm and thickness of 2.0 mm. Invasion of the angle structures by melanoma seeds was visible for a mean of 7 clock hours (median 7, range 0-12 clock hours). The mechanism of elevated IOP was judged to be outflow obstruction from tumour invasion into the trabecular meshwork. There were no cases of neovascular glaucoma. The tumour was ultimately managed with enucleation in 30 patients (60%), local resection (iridectomy, iridocyclectomy, or iridocyclogoniectomy) in 11 (22%), and plaque radiotherapy in five (10%). In four cases (8%), observation of cytologically low grade tumour was the patient's preference. Using multivariate analysis, the clinical factors at initial evaluation associated with tumour induced secondary elevated IOP from iris melanoma included increasing extent of tumour seeding in the anterior chamber angle (p=0.01) and poor visual acuity at presentation (p=0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Microscopically confirmed iris melanoma demonstrates tumour related elevated IOP in 30% cases at the time of presentation, usually secondary to tumour involvement of the trabecular meshwork obstructing aqueous outflow. Enucleation is necessary in the majority of these patients (60%) as opposed to those cases without elevated intraocular pressure (18%). (+info)Primary iris melanoma: diagnostic features and outcome of conservative surgical treatment. (2/30)
AIMS: To describe features influencing the management of primary iris melanoma and report the outcome of conservative surgical treatment of patients diagnosed with this condition in a tertiary referral academic setting over a 20 year period. METHODS: Retrospective non-comparative case series of consecutive patients diagnosed with iris melanoma from 1980-2000 using medical records from the University of Sydney Department of Ophthalmology and NSW Cancer Registry RESULTS: 51 cases were identified. The most common presentation was growth of a previously noted pigmented lesion. Initial management was either observation or local resection (two had enucleations) with iris reconstruction where possible (23.8%). The mean follow up was 8.7 years (range 1-17 years). Vision of 6/12 or better was maintained in the majority (78.6%) treated by local resection. Pupil reconstruction significantly reduced reported postoperative glare symptoms. Four patients had features suggestive of local recurrence and there was no documented metastatic disease or death from iris melanoma in this series. Histologically, the majority were spindle B cell melanomas. Clinical features including prominent tumour vascularity, rapid growth, and heterogeneous pigmentation were each significantly associated with an epithelioid cell component. Involvement of the iridocorneal angle was frequently associated with ciliary body invasion. CONCLUSIONS: Management decisions for iris melanoma will depend on the clinical features. Mixed or epithelioid histology is more likely in the presence of two or more of the features of malignancy and may justify earlier intervention. When treatment is undertaken, local resection achieves long term tumour clearance with an acceptable morbidity. In resecting iris melanoma, careful assessment for iridocorneal angle involvement is important in treatment planning. Iris reconstruction has a useful role in reducing postoperative photophobia. (+info)Uveal melanomas express vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor and support endothelial cell growth. (3/30)
BACKGROUND: Tumour microvascularity is a significant determinant of prognosis for a large number of different tumours, including uveal melanoma. The development of blood vessels within these and other tumours is partly controlled by soluble pro-angiogenic cytokines, of which basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF) are the best described. METHODS: Because VEGF has been inconsistently found within uveal melanomas and bFGF is described as an autocrine growth factor in cutaneous melanoma, the authors looked at the expression of these cytokines in uveal melanomas using immunohistochemistry and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The cross talk between uveal melanoma cells and endothelial cells was then assessed in an in vitro co-culture model. RESULTS: While most tumour cells expressed bFGF at the protein level by immunohistochemistry (89%), relatively few (22%) expressed VEGF, and this was of limited extent. All 20 tumours tested by RT-PCR contained mRNA for both bFGF and VEGF. Co-culture experiments using an ATP based bioassay showed that uveal melanomas could support the growth of a rat brain endothelial cell line (GPNT) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), and that this could be modulated by cytokines and anti-cytokine antibodies. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that angiogenesis within uveal melanoma may be the result of a complex interplay between endothelial and tumour cells, and that bFGF and VEGF could play a part. (+info)Lack of detection of feline leukemia and feline sarcoma viruses in diffuse iris melanomas of cats by immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction. (4/30)
Diffuse iris melanoma was confirmed by light-microscopic examination in 10 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded globes from 10 cats. To determine if feline leukemia virus or a replication defective feline leukemia virus, feline sarcoma virus, was present in these anterior uveal melanomas, immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction for feline leukemia virus were utilized. Immunohistochemical staining for feline leukemia virus glycoprotein 70 was performed on all 10 tumors using an avidin-biotin complex technique. The DNA was extracted from each specimen and a 166-base pair region of the feline leukemia virus long terminal repeat was targeted by polymerase chain reaction. Immunohistochemical staining for feline leukemia virus glycoprotein 70 and polymerase chain reaction amplification of a feline leukemia virus long terminal repeat region were negative in all cases. Feline leukemia virus/feline sarcoma virus was not detected in any neoplasms and therefore was unlikely to play a role in the tumorigenesis of these feline diffuse iris melanomas. (+info)Tumor necrosis factor alpha increases and alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone reduces uveal melanoma invasion through fibronectin. (5/30)
Iris melanomas are less likely to metastasize than posterior compartment melanomas. The anterior chamber of the eye is an immunosuppressed microenvironment where a wide range of immunosuppressive factors in aqueous humor contribute to the immune privilege. One such factor is alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, a potent anti-inflammatory neuropeptide that exhibits efficacy in many studies of acute and chronic inflammation. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the different metastatic behavior of iris melanomas versus posterior compartment melanomas might be explained by the differing immunosuppressive/anti-inflammatory environments of these tumors in vivo. To investigate this hypothesis, we studied the effect of human aqueous and vitreous fluids, of the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha, and of the anti-inflammatory peptides alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone and melanocyte-stimulating hormone 11-13 (KP-D-V) on the invasion of three human uveal melanoma cell lines through human fibronectin. Fresh aqueous humor samples significantly decreased the invasion in two out of three uveal melanoma cell lines. In contrast, vitreous humor did not reduce invasion. Tumor necrosis factor alpha significantly increased the invasiveness of uveal melanoma cell lines by approximately 50%-80% over 20 h. Full-length alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, at concentrations present in the aqueous humor (10-9 M), as well as melanocyte-stimulating hormone 11-13 (KP-D-V) reduced the invasion of cells through human fibronectin by 45%-50% and also protected uveal melanoma cells from the pro-invasive actions of tumor necrosis factor alpha. These data are consistent with inflammation playing a major role in affecting the metastatic ability of uveal melanomas. Thus, ocular microenvironments that differ in their immunosuppressive/anti-inflammatory properties may influence the invasiveness of developing tumors. (+info)Congenital adenoma of the iris and ciliary body: light and electron microscopic observations. (6/30)
A 23-year-old man had a lesion in the right inferior iris which appeared to have enlarged since it was first seen when the patient was aged 5 years. The lesion was excised by a partial iridocyclectomy. Histopathologically the neoplasm was composed of both pigmented and non-pigmented cells. Pseudoacini, containing acid mucopolysaccharides, were present throughout the tumour matrix. Electron microscopically the non-pigmented cells were found to possess a convoluted plasmalemma, abundant rough endoplasmic reticulum, and numerous desmosomes and gap junctions. The pigmented cells contained large, round, mature melanosomes, occasional premelanosomes, and desmosomes, which resembled the posterior pigment epithelium of the iris. The intercellular matrix contained fine collagen fibrils resembling vitreous. We believe that this neoplasm represents a congenital adenoma of the ciliary body and iris. (+info)Association between posterior uveal melanoma and iris freckles, iris naevi, and choroidal naevi. (7/30)
AIM: To investigate the association between posterior uveal melanoma and iris freckles, iris naevi, and choroidal naevi. METHODS: Cross sectional study of 65 patients with posterior uveal melanoma and 218 controls. Iris colour, iris freckles, iris naevi, and choroidal naevi were recorded for each eye of each patient. RESULTS: Iris freckles were present in 40 (61.5%) patients with melanoma and 135 (61.9%) controls (p = 0.494). Iris naevi were present in four (6.2%) patients with melanoma and nine (4.1%) controls (p = 0.955). Choroidal naevi were present in 12 (18.5%) patients with melanoma and 38 (17.4%) controls (p = 0.815). CONCLUSION: This study did not detect an association between posterior uveal melanoma and iris freckles, iris naevi, or choroidal naevi. (+info)The Finger iridectomy technique: small incision biopsy of anterior segment tumours. (8/30)
AIMS: To develop a minimally invasive, maximally effective method to biopsy anterior segment tumours. METHODS: A 25 gauge aspiration cutter (vitrector) was used to biopsy anterior segment tumours. The probe was introduced under sodium hyaluronate 1% and through a 1 mm incision. Aspiration (600 mm Hg) cutting (300 cpm) was performed to obtain specimens for cytology and histopathology. RESULTS: Diagnostic material was obtained in nine of 10 (90%) cases. Diagnoses included iris naevus, iris stroma, malignant melanoma, melanocytoma, epithelial inclusion cyst, and sarcoid granuloma. All corneal wounds were self sealing. One patient developed a transient postoperative increase in intraocular pressure. Within the follow up of this study, no patients suffered intraocular haemorrhage, infection, cataract or vision loss. CONCLUSION: The Finger iridectomy technique was a minimally invasive and very effective biopsy technique. Aspiration cutting yielded relatively large pieces of tissue (and cells) used for cytopathological and histopathological evaluation. Small incision surgery allowed for rapid rehabilitation and no significant complications. (+info)Iris neoplasms are abnormal growths that can be benign or malignant, originating from the iris tissue in the eye, which may present as pigmented lesions, cause vision changes, and potentially lead to serious complications if not managed promptly.
Iris neoplasms refer to abnormal growths or tumors that develop in the iris, which is the colored part of the eye. These neoplasms can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Benign iris neoplasms are typically slow-growing and do not spread to other parts of the body. Malignant iris neoplasms, on the other hand, can grow quickly and may spread to other parts of the eye or nearby structures, such as the ciliary body or choroid.
Iris neoplasms can cause various symptoms, including changes in the appearance of the eye, such as a visible mass or discoloration, pain, redness, light sensitivity, blurred vision, or changes in the size or shape of the pupil. The diagnosis of iris neoplasms typically involves a comprehensive eye examination, including a visual acuity test, refraction, slit-lamp examination, and sometimes imaging tests such as ultrasound or optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Treatment options for iris neoplasms depend on the type, size, location, and severity of the tumor. Small, benign iris neoplasms may not require treatment and can be monitored over time. Larger or malignant iris neoplasms may require surgical removal, radiation therapy, or other treatments to prevent complications or spread to other parts of the eye or body. It is essential to seek medical attention promptly if you experience any symptoms of iris neoplasms or notice any changes in your vision or the appearance of your eyes.
In an ocular context, the iris is the circular, pigmented structure within the eye that regulates the size of the pupil and thus controls the amount of light reaching the retina by contracting or expanding in response to nearby objects' luminance changes.
In medical terms, the iris refers to the colored portion of the eye that surrounds the pupil. It is a circular structure composed of thin, contractile muscle fibers (radial and circumferential) arranged in a regular pattern. These muscles are controlled by the autonomic nervous system and can adjust the size of the pupil in response to changes in light intensity or emotional arousal. By constricting or dilating the iris, the amount of light entering the eye can be regulated, which helps maintain optimal visual acuity under various lighting conditions.
The color of the iris is determined by the concentration and distribution of melanin pigments within the iris stroma. The iris also contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue that support its structure and function. Anatomically, the iris is continuous with the ciliary body and the choroid, forming part of the uveal tract in the eye.
'Iris diseases' refer to a range of medical conditions that affect the structure, function, or color of the iris, including inflammatory, infectious, degenerative, and neoplastic processes, which can lead to symptoms such as pain, photophobia, decreased vision, and altered eye appearance.
Iris diseases refer to a variety of conditions that affect the iris, which is the colored part of the eye that regulates the amount of light reaching the retina by adjusting the size of the pupil. Some common iris diseases include:
1. Iritis: This is an inflammation of the iris and the adjacent tissues in the eye. It can cause pain, redness, photophobia (sensitivity to light), and blurred vision.
2. Aniridia: A congenital condition characterized by the absence or underdevelopment of the iris. This can lead to decreased visual acuity, sensitivity to light, and an increased risk of glaucoma.
3. Iris cysts: These are fluid-filled sacs that form on the iris. They are usually benign but can cause vision problems if they grow too large or interfere with the function of the eye.
4. Iris melanoma: A rare type of eye cancer that develops in the pigmented cells of the iris. It can cause symptoms such as blurred vision, floaters, and changes in the appearance of the iris.
5. Iridocorneal endothelial syndrome (ICE): A group of rare eye conditions that affect the cornea and the iris. They are characterized by the growth of abnormal tissue on the back surface of the cornea and can lead to vision loss.
It is important to seek medical attention if you experience any symptoms of iris diseases, as early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent complications and preserve your vision.
An 'Iris Plant' is not typically defined in medical terms, but it's a type of perennial herbaceous plant with broad, flat, sword-like leaves and showy flowers, belonging to the genus Iris in the family Iridaceae, which has no direct medical relevance unless used in specific botanical medicine or as a decorative element in therapeutic gardens.
I am not aware of a specific medical definition for "Iris Plant." The term "iris" in a medical context usually refers to the colored part of the eye that regulates the size of the pupil and controls the amount of light that enters the eye.
However, the "Iris Plant" (Iris spp.) is a type of perennial flowering plant that belongs to the family Iridaceae. It is native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, although there are also some species found in tropical and subtropical areas. The iris plant has long, sword-shaped leaves and showy flowers that come in various colors, including blue, purple, yellow, white, and red.

'Vulvar neoplasms' refer to abnormal growths or tumors occurring in the vulvar region, which can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), with squamous cell carcinoma being the most common type of cancer in this area.
Vulvar neoplasms refer to abnormal growths or tumors in the vulvar region, which is the exterior female genital area including the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, and the vaginal vestibule. These neoplasms can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
Benign vulvar neoplasms may include conditions such as vulvar cysts, fibromas, lipomas, or condylomas (genital warts). They are typically slow-growing and less likely to spread or invade surrounding tissues.
Malignant vulvar neoplasms, on the other hand, are cancers that can invade nearby tissues and potentially metastasize (spread) to distant parts of the body. The most common types of malignant vulvar neoplasms are squamous cell carcinoma, vulvar melanoma, and adenocarcinoma.
Early detection and treatment of vulvar neoplasms are essential for improving prognosis and reducing the risk of complications or recurrence. Regular gynecological examinations, self-examinations, and prompt attention to any unusual symptoms or changes in the vulvar area can help ensure timely diagnosis and management.
The clitoris is a complex, highly sensitive female sexual organ principally involved in sexual arousal and genital sensation through its rich supply of nerve endings and erectile tissue, consisting of the glans, body, corpora cavernosa, and crura, surrounded by the labia minora, and having a diverse range of responses to various stimuli. (28 words)
The clitoris is an important female sex organ that is primarily responsible for sexual arousal and pleasure. It is a small, highly sensitive piece of tissue located at the front of the vulva, where the labia minora meet. The clitoris is made up of two parts: the visible part, known as the glans clitoris, and the hidden part, called the corpora cavernosa and crura.
The glans clitoris is a small knob-like structure that is covered by a hood, or prepuce, and is located at the top of the vulva. It contains a high concentration of nerve endings, making it highly sensitive to touch and stimulation. The corpora cavernosa and crura are the internal parts of the clitoris, which are made up of sponge-like erectile tissue that becomes engorged with blood during sexual arousal, leading to clitoral erection.
The clitoris plays a crucial role in female sexual response and pleasure. During sexual arousal, the clitoris swells and becomes more sensitive to touch, which can lead to orgasm. The clitoris is also an important source of sexual pleasure during masturbation and partnered sexual activity. Despite its importance in female sexuality, the clitoris has historically been overlooked or stigmatized in many cultures, leading to a lack of understanding and education about this vital organ.
'Vulvar diseases' is a broad term referring to various medical conditions that affect the external female genital area, including skin disorders, infections, inflammatory conditions, and neoplasms, which can cause symptoms such as pain, itching, burning, and abnormal discharge or lesions.
Vulvar diseases refer to a range of medical conditions that affect the vulva, which is the external female genital area including the mons pubis, labia majora and minora, clitoris, and the vaginal opening. These conditions can cause various symptoms such as itching, burning, pain, soreness, irritation, or abnormal growths or lesions. Some common vulvar diseases include:
1. Vulvitis: inflammation of the vulva that can be caused by infection, allergies, or irritants.
2. Lichen sclerosus: a chronic skin condition that causes thin, white patches on the vulva.
3. Lichen planus: an inflammatory condition that affects the skin and mucous membranes, including the vulva.
4. Vulvar cancer: a rare type of cancer that develops in the tissues of the vulva.
5. Genital warts: caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, these are small growths or bumps on the vulva.
6. Pudendal neuralgia: a nerve condition that causes pain in the vulvar area.
7. Vestibulodynia: pain or discomfort in the vestibule, the area surrounding the vaginal opening.
It is important to consult a healthcare professional if experiencing any symptoms related to vulvar diseases for proper diagnosis and treatment.
The vulva refers to the external female genital region, including the mons pubis, labia majora and minora, clitoris, vestibule with the vaginal and urethral openings, and the Skene's and Bartholin's glands. (Source: ASTDD Glossary)
The vulva refers to the external female genital area. It includes the mons pubis (the pad of fatty tissue covered with skin and hair that's located on the front part of the pelvis), labia majora (the outer folds of skin that surround and protect the vaginal opening), labia minora (the inner folds of skin that surround the vaginal and urethral openings), clitoris (a small, sensitive organ located at the front of the vulva where the labia minora join), the external openings of the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body) and vagina (the passageway leading to the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus).
It's important to note that understanding the anatomy and terminology related to one's own body can help facilitate effective communication with healthcare providers, promote self-awareness, and support overall health and well-being.
"Encyclopedias, as a medical topic, refer to comprehensive and organized collections of information on various medical disciplines, theories, practices, diseases, treatments, and related health sciences, serving as extensive reference sources for medical professionals, students, researchers, and general public." (29 words)
An encyclopedia is a comprehensive reference work containing articles on various topics, usually arranged in alphabetical order. In the context of medicine, a medical encyclopedia is a collection of articles that provide information about a wide range of medical topics, including diseases and conditions, treatments, tests, procedures, and anatomy and physiology. Medical encyclopedias may be published in print or electronic formats and are often used as a starting point for researching medical topics. They can provide reliable and accurate information on medical subjects, making them useful resources for healthcare professionals, students, and patients alike. Some well-known examples of medical encyclopedias include the Merck Manual and the Stedman's Medical Dictionary.
Bartholin's glands are two almond-shaped exocrine glands located asymmetrically in the lower part of the vaginal opening in females, responsible for producing and releasing a mucus-like fluid that helps lubricate the vestibule during sexual arousal.
Bartholin's glands are two small exocrine glands located in the female reproductive system. They are named after the Danish anatomist and surgeon Caspar Bartholin the Younger, who described them in 1677. These glands are about the size of a pea and are situated on either side of the vaginal opening, just inside the labia majora (the outer folds of skin surrounding the vaginal opening).
Bartholin's glands produce and secrete a mucus-like fluid that helps lubricate the vaginal opening, making sexual intercourse more comfortable. The fluid is released through small ducts that open into the vestibule, the area between the labia minora (the inner folds of skin surrounding the vaginal opening) and the hymen.
In some cases, Bartholin's glands can become blocked, causing a cyst or abscess to form. These conditions may require medical treatment, such as antibiotics, drainage, or surgical removal of the cyst or abscess.
Female genitalia refers to the external and internal reproductive organs including the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, bulb of vestibule, vulval vestibule, Skene's glands, Bartholin's glands, vaginal opening, hymen, and internal structures such as the vagina, cervix, uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes.
Female genitalia refer to the reproductive and sexual organs located in the female pelvic region. They are primarily involved in reproduction, menstruation, and sexual activity. The external female genitalia, also known as the vulva, include the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, and the external openings of the urethra and vagina. The internal female genitalia consist of the vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. These structures work together to facilitate menstruation, fertilization, pregnancy, and childbirth.
