Item A case report of unifocal Langerhans' cell histiocytosis or eosinophilic granuloma.(2007-04-08) Sarkar, Subhra; Singh, Maneesh; Nag, Dipanwita; Dutta, Himadri; Banerjee, Anita; Bhaduri, Gautam; Jha, ArindamA case of unifocal Langerhans' cell histiocytosis or eosinophilic granuloma in a child is reported where the frontal, zygomatic and maxillary bones of the left orbital wall are affected. As eosinophilic granuloma is a rare disease and the involvement of maxillary bone in orbital eosinophilic granuloma is not well documented in the literature, this case is reported for its unusual involvement of 3 bones at a single site. The diagnosis was established by clinical, radiological and histological findings. As no other system or site was involved and considering the osseous involvement of multiple bones at one site, local radiotherapy was preferred as the mode of treatment. The patient responded favourably to radiotherapy with reduction of proptosis and tumour mass but there was no visual recovery. In the absence of universal agreement over the mode of treatment, the result emphasises the probable benign nature of the tumour and the need to withhold more aggressive treatment modalities for extensive multisystem involvements.Item Fine needle aspiration biopsy in the management of tumours in superolateral quadrant of orbit.(2006-07-24) Banerjee, Anita; Nag, Dipanwita; Das, Subhendu; Biswas, Pradyot Narayan; Ghosh, Asim; Nath, SankarForty-two cases of orbital lesions in superolateral quadrant were evaluated in our study by fine needle aspiration biopsy. Cases were histologically proven wherever possible. In 92.85% cases the diseases were correctly diagnosed. Females were mainly affected. Lymphomatous tumours were diagnosed on the basis of atypical lymphoid proliferation, correlated with clinical features and findings of computed tomographic scan and managed by radiotherapy. Pseudotumours, dermoid and epithelial tumours of lacrimal gland were diagnosed accurately except in one case of malignant mixed tumour where the malignant component was aspirated. Pseudotumours were treated by steroid, dermoid by excision. In case of adenocarcinoma and adenocystic carcinoma, tumour masses were removed by lateral orbitotomy and radiotherapy was applied when bony erosion was present. One case of eosinophilic granuloma was treated by radiotherapy and curettage. The suspected case of intra-osseous cavernous haemangioma did not turn up for treatment.Item Late spontaneous extrusion of a wooden intraorbital foreign body.(2003-03-19) Banerjee, Anita; Das, Amitava; Agarwal, Pankaj Kumar; Banerjee, Asit RanjanWooden intraorbital foreign body is characteristic for delayed manifestation, silent progression and unpredictable outcome. A silent wooden intraorbital foreign body is difficult to diagnose clinically. Spontaneous expulsion of entire foreign body is rare.Item Traumatic pseudophacocele.(2004-12-06) Bandyopadhyay, Rakhi; Banerjee, Anita; Bhaduri, Gautam; Singh, ManeeshA 70-year-old man presented with blunt trauma to his pseudophacic eye, resulting in subconjunctival dislocation of the posterior chamber intra-ocular lens. This rare incidence of traumatic pseudophacocele, occurring 5 years after cataract surgery and how its management salvaged useful vision is reported here.
