(Pakistan Medical Assoc, 2014) Esmer, Oktay; Karadag, Remzi; Bayramlar, Huseyin; Soylu, Erkan; Kosem, Mustafa
Basosquamous cell carcinoma is a subtype of basal cell cancer. It is known to be more aggressive than basal cell cancer. A 70-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic for evaluation of cosmetic problems caused by masses on both lower eyelids for at least two years. The mass excision from and reconstruction of lower eyelids were performed. Histopathological examination of the resected masses was consistent with basosquamous cell carcinoma. We present a case of basosquamous cell carcinoma involving bilateral lower eyelids with a different clinical appearance. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of bilateral basosquamous cell carcinoma in a patient.
Nasolacrimal System Obstruction, Ptosis and Esotropia Due To Chemotherapy in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
(informa Healthcare, 2013) Esmer, Oktay; Karadag, Remzi; Soylu, Erkan; Oner, Ahmet Faik; Burakgazi-Dalkilic, Evren
Eight-year-old girl was admitted to our clinic with the complaint of constant epiphora in the right eye. It was reported that this complaint began after the start of chemotherapy with a diagnosis of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) about 5 years ago. In addition, eyelid ptosis associated with esotropia also occurred during that period. We found that nasolacrimal duct obstruction did not improve with medical treatment but ptosis and esotropia improved with pyridoxine and pyridostigmine treatment during that period. Examination of the eye on admission revealed nasolacrimal duct obstruction on the right side. Other ocular findings were normal. Nasolacrimal system obstruction, ptosis and esotropia combination has not been reported previously in patients using systemic drugs or receiving chemotherapy due to ALL.
