[Keratotic basal cell carcinoma with orbital extension--case report].

This is a description of a case of a 72-year-old female who developed a basal cell carcinoma of the external angle of the eyelid, with intraorbital extension. This type of cancer of the eyelid developed on keratotic skin lesions of the face; the invasion of the orbit occurred only for two years. The tumour of the eyelid and orbit was completely removed with good postoperative course and a good outcome without recurrence in the past 3 years.

[Intraocular mass lesion--case report].

The authors present a case of a 27 years old patient, admitted in the Ophthalmological Department, presenting an intraocular mass lesion of the right eye, which consist of 2 different tumours of the eyeball (with different shape and location). The patient presents scleral staphiloma due to the intraocular tumours of the eye ball, the change of the shape and colour of the anterior aspect of the eye, loss of vision for two months. The complementary examinations for the diagnosis, that have been done (A Scan and Bscan, MRI of the eye ball) pointed to a possible choroidal hemangioma of the middle tunic of the eyeball. This diagnosis was confirmed by the histopathologic exam after surgery.

[Complications of palpebral epitheliomas: diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic implications].

PURPOSE: To illustrate two cases of palpebral tumors that determined local complications, with consequences on the preoperative diagnosis and the surgical treatment (case 1) and on the functional prognosis of the eye (case 2). METHOD: The history and evolution of the cases, the surgical techniques, the histopathological reports and the anatomical and functional results are described and analyzed. RESULTS: In case 1, the extension of the tumor led to a considerable tissular defect that claimed for a long and hard surgery for the anatomical and functional repair of the region. In case 2, the vegetant evolution of the tumor determined the irritation of the cornea and consecutive corneal ulcer that perforated, with the functional loss of the eye. CONCLUSIONS: The two cases are revealing aspects that are less frequent in the ophthalmic practice. They signalize, besides the deffisient adresability of the patient, the problem of the "territorial dispute" over the palpebral surgery between different specialties.
