Incidence of granulomatous lesions in postmortem conjunctival biopsy specimens.

We examined 58 postmortem conjunctival biopsy specimens from 30 patients without sarcoidosis. The specimens were excised randomly from the lower fornices. Histopathologic examination showed chronic inflammation, epithelial hyperplasia, subepithelial foreign bodies, inclusion cysts, and ectopic lacrimal glands. Although aggregates of foreign body giant cells were observed in three specimens (5.2%), no distinct, noncaseating granuloma formation was seen.

Tumor seeding in ocular fine needle aspiration biopsy.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the occurrence of tumor cell seeding in needle tracks following fine needle aspiration biopsy of intraocular tumors. Sixteen biopsies were performed in four enucleated globes (3 with retinoblastoma and 1 with choroidal melanoma). The biopsies were done immediately after surgery and the needle tracks from the pars plana region were serially sectioned for histological examination. Clusters of tumor cells were seen within six of the 11 needle tracks that could be histologically identified.

Iron-containing plasma cells.

Iron in plasma cells has been described in patients with diseases characterized by iron overload. We observed iron-containing plasma cells in 21 anemic alcoholic patients admitted to the hospital for treatment of complications of alcoholism. The presence of iron-containing plasma cells is suggestive of alcoholism and its complications, and diseases associated with iron overload or inability of RBCs to utilize iron. The mechanism of entry of iron into plasma cells is unknown.
