What is orbital pseudotumor

The tumor suppressor protein p53 is negatively regulated by Mdm2, a ubiquitin ligase protein that targets p53 for degradation. Mdmx (also known as Mdm4) is a relative of Mdm2 that was identified on the basis of its ability to physically interact with p53. An increasing body of evidence, including recent genetic studies, suggests that Mdmx also acts as a key negative regulator of p53. Aberrant expression of MDMX could thus contribute to tumor formation. Indeed, MDMX amplification and/or overexpression occurs in several diverse tumors. Strikingly, recent work identifies MDMX as a specific chemotherapeutic target for treatment of retinoblastoma. Specific MDMX antagonists should therefore be developed as a tool to ensure activation of 'dormant' p53 activity in tumors that retain wild-type p53.

Primary Intraocular Lymphoma (ocular reticulum cell sarcoma) Diagnosis and Management

AIMS—Three issues were investigated in adult outpatients with orbital metastases. One, how accurate are current diagnostic methods? Two, what is the survival associated with orbital metastases? Three, did any clinical factors correlate with prognosis in this patient cohort?
METHODS—Retrospective analysis of patients with orbital metastases managed in an ocular oncology unit.
RESULTS—11 of 31 (35%) patients had no known primary malignancy at the time of orbital diagnosis. In eight of 31 (26%) computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging data did not yield the diagnosis of metastases. In 15 of 17 (88%) cases a fine needle aspiration biopsy was diagnostic. Several types of therapy were used. The median survival was 1.3 years.
CONCLUSION—Orbital metastases, even with newer diagnostic techniques can be difficult to diagnose. Management was based on location and extent of both orbital and systemic disease as well as vision. In most cases, orbital symptoms were palliated; however, survival was dismal. No clinical factor correlated with prognosis.

Orbital metastases: diagnosis and course

Ten-year follow-up of helium ion therapy for uveal melanoma

This second edition has been completely revised to incorporate the latest advances in the field of clinical ocular oncology. The text provides an overview of the biology, diagnosis, and multi-modality treatment of eyelid, conjunctival, intraocular and orbital tumours and conditions that simulate tumours. It reviews recent discoveries on the molecular biology of ocular tumours and highlights the clinical ramifications of these findings, particularly in the areas of prognosis and genetic testing. Included are detailed discussions of the role and limitations of magnetic resonance imaging, extensive new data on intraocular tumour management, and recommendations on the optimal use of radiation treatments for retinoblastoma and melanoma.
