Basal cell carcinoma was located on cheek in 15 (55.5%), nose in 9 (33.3%), temple 2 (7.4%) and forehead 1 (3.7%) cases. Direct closure was performed in 6 (22.2%), rotation flaps in 10 (40.7%), and advancement flaps in 11 (40.7%) cases.

All patients underwent detailed ophthalmologic examination, including measurement with optical biometry, intraocular pressure and choroid thickness. The choroidal thickness was measured perpendicularly at the fovea using spectral domain optical coherence tomography preoperatively and 1 month postoperatively. Changes in intraocular pressure and choroid thickness after surgery were evaluated. \u0000Results: There was a statistically significant increase in the choroid thickness in early postoperative period (p-value <0.01). This increment was prominent in sub foveal regions. The intraocular pressure decreased significantly 1 month after surgery (p-value <0.01). The change in intraocular pressure was correlated with the choroid thickness change at sub foveal region. \u0000Conclusion: Uncomplicated phacoemulsification induces non-pathologic increase in sub-foveal choroid thickness probably due to the inflammatory insult of the surgery. Long-term follow-up of eyes having phacoemulsification surgery may provide further insight into the effects of cataract surgery on the choroid.","PeriodicalId":19982,"journal":{"name":"PAFMJ","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84190960","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}

The follow-up of 3-5 years was obtained from archives and through telephonic contact for outside hospital patients. Disease free survival and relapse-associated mortality were represented through Kaplan-Meier curves. \u0000Results: Eighty cases of myoinvasive endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma were reviewed. We found that infiltrating irregular gland pattern was the most frequent in all the age groups. Thirty-five (43.75%) cases showed this type of invasion, followed by broad front pattern 23 (28.75%), Microcystic Elongated and Fragmented (MELF) pattern 15 (18.75%) and adenomyotic pattern 6 (7.5%). One case showed a combination of the last two patterns, whereas adenoma malignum pattern was not seen. Follow-up of these patients showed 8 (10%) patients with relapse related mortality including 5 (62.5%) infiltrating irregular glands, 2 (25%) adenomyosis-like and 1 (12.5%) broad front pattern of myoinvasion.
