It accounts for around 1% of all cutaneous malignancies. In Caucasians, SGCs are rare accounting for 1-5.5% of eyelid malignancies with a high incidence rate (28-60%) reported in the Asian population. In most SGCs no obvious etiology has been identified but few cases are associated with Muir-Torre syndrome. The dysregulation of several cell signaling pathways has been reported in tumorigenesis of SGC. Recently genome sequencing of periocular SGC revealed several gene mutations like TP53 and RB1 genes. Ocular SGC is known as the ‘great masquerader’ as it mimics several benign and inflammatory conditions like chalazion and chronic blepharitis/ blepharoconjunctivitis which may be responsible for delayed diagnosis and high mortality. Clinico-pathologically ocular SGC can be broadly categorized into nodular and pagetoid subtypes. The latter is more aggressive and associated with a high rate of lymph node metastasis and recurrence hence requiring aggressive multimodal treatment. More aggressive features associated with poor prognosis include involvement of both eyelids, infiltrative growth pattern, multicentric in origin with a pattern of spread to surrounding structures like pagetoid spread, vascular, lymphatic and orbital invasion. Although wide surgical excision with tumor-free margin is the gold standard treatment for the localized nodular type of ocular SGC, but the management of advanced-stage disease, invasive or aggressive lesions and recurrence is challenging and often needs a multidisciplinary approach that can reduce the mortality rate in patients with SGC. In this review article, we report recent research in molecular pathogenesis, clinicopathological features, the importance of TNM staging, sentinel lymph node biopsy, map biopsy and immunohistochemical evaluation of tumor markers like p,Ki-67, bcl-1, and p. We also emphasized the treatment of ocular SGC, i.e. surgical excision & reconstruction, topical therapy, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and radiation therapy.","PeriodicalId":14485,"journal":{"name":"IP International Journal of Ocular Oncology and Oculoplasty","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91276546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pheochromocytoma-induced hypertension may present with many physical symptoms and signs, although sometimes the ocular features are the only clues that are present. Clinical suspicion of secondary hypertension should always be considered when fundus examination shows hypertensive retinopathy changes in a younger age group (18 years in our case).

The most common method of auto-graft fixation post pterygium excision is suturing; with drawbacks of prolonged operating time and postoperative discomfort. Replacing sutures with tissue adhesives may shorten the operating time, improve postoperative comfort; however, the major concern of the commercial fibrin glue is the cost and the potential risk of transmission of infection.To study, 1. The efficacy and complications of suture free and glue free conjunctival-limbal auto-graft for the management of pterygia, 2. The outcome of surgeries by two different qualified surgeons Prospective, interventional case study of 108 consecutive cases of pterygia that had excision with conjunctival-limbal auto-grafting without using glue or sutures. The operated eye patched for a day and followed up on day 1, 3 and 7, 6 weeks and 6 months; watched for hemorrhage beneath the graft, graft retraction, chemosis, recurrence or any other complication. The mean age of the patients was 40.7 years (range, 25 – 68 years) with female preponderance (60.2%) and nasal pterygia in 65.7 %. Not a single graft was dislodged and none had recurrence in the follow up period of 9-20 months. Graft retraction occurred in 7 cases (6.5%) and one patient had sub-graft hemorrhage which lasted for nine days. 76.9% had no discomfort even in immediate post-operative period.
