The Histopathological Finding of the Surgically Extracted Atypical Dome-Shaped Choroidal Osteoma.

ABSTRACT: Purpose. To report a case of atypical dome-shaped choroidal osteoma, which was diagnosed by histopathological finding of surgically extracted tumor. Case Report. A 35-year-old woman presented with visual field abnormality in the left eye (OS). Her best-corrected visual acuity with Landolt ring chart was 1.0 OS. The funduscopic examination revealed a yellowish dome-shaped choroidal tumor located in the temporal side of the macula with exudative retinal detachment. 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy and the extraction of the tumor were performed for the definitive diagnosis. Results. As a result of histopathological finding from the extracted tumor, she was diagnosed with choroidal osteoma. 10 months after the last surgery, the BCVA is 0.7 OS. The tumor is not relapsed. Conclusions. We must keep in mind that choroidal osteoma can be one of the differential diagnoses for the dome-shaped choroidal tumor.

Project description:ObjectiveTo report the morphologic characteristics of tumor-related vasculatures and their association with secondary choroidal neovascularization (CNV), subretinal fluid (SRF), choroidal thickness, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) alterations, subretinal hemorrhage, and tumor decalcification in eyes with choroidal osteoma (CO), using swept-source optical coherence tomographic angiography (SS-OCTA).DesignCross-sectional observational study.ParticipantsWe included 26 patients recruited from Beijing Tongren Hospital with a diagnosis of CO, based on the presence of yellow-orange mass deep to the RPE under indirect ophthalmoscopy and occupying the choroid with well-defined margins and bone density on ultrasonography or computed tomography and focal hyperfluorescent spots with no homogeneous pattern on fluorescein angiography/indocyanine green angiography (FA/ICGA). Data were collected from April 1, 2020, to April 1, 2021, and analyzed from April 30 through May 30, 2021.MethodsApplying SS-OCTA systems operating at 1,050-nm wavelengths, eyes with CO were imaged.Main outcome and measuresTumor-related vasculature in eyes with CO was characterized using multimodal imaging that included fundus photography, FA/ICGA, SS-OCT, and SS-OCTA, and the images were anatomically aligned. CO thickness was manually measured as the distance between the upper boundary of the tumor and the underlying sclerochoroidal interface on the SS-OCT images. Subfoveal choroidal thickness was manually measured as the distance between the Bruch membrane and the sclerochoroidal interface on the SS-OCT images.ResultsOf the 26 Asian patients, 16 (62%) were women and 10 (38%) were men. The mean age was 26.8 years (median, 23; range, 8-45 years), and the mean best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/40. Thirty-three eyes underwent imaging and were diagnosed with CO. Indocyanine green angiography identified inhomogeneous hyperfluorescence due to tumor-related vasculature, and all corresponded to the structures that appeared as sea-fan vascular networks (SFVNs) combined with clusters of tangled vessels on SS-OCTA images. SFVNs were detected on SS-OCTA imaging in all eyes (100%), terminal tangled vascular structures in 32 of 33 eyes (97%), but not identified on ICGA. Of the 33 tangled vascular structures, 32 (97%) were located at the edge of or inside the tumor, and only 1 (3%) was associated with type 2 neovascularization. In addition, SS-OCT revealed SRF in 33 eyes (100%), 33 (100%) were located at the edge of CO, and only 1 was underlying macular. SRF with retinal edema was seen in 30 of 32 eyes (94%).ConclusionsIn eyes with CO undergoing SS-OCTA imaging, tumor-related vasculature appears as SFVNs combined with tangled vascular structures or few type 2 neovascularization. The identification of actual tumor vasculature in patients with CO as SFVNs with inner or terminal vascular tangles rather than previously described CNV may help facilitate understanding of their pathogenesis, tumor control, and response to treatment.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Clinical behaviour of atypical meningiomas is not uniform. While, as a group, they exhibit a high recurrence rate, some pursue a more benign course, whereas others progress early. We aim to investigate the imaging and pathological factors that predict risk of early tumour progression and to determine whether early progression is related to outcome. METHODS:Adult patients with WHO grade II meningioma treated in three regional referral centres between 2007 and 2014 were included. MRI and pathology characteristics were assessed. Gross total resection (GTR) was defined as Simpson 1-3. Recurrence was classified into early and late (??24 vs. >?24 months). RESULTS:Among the 220 cases, 37 (16.8%) patients progressed within 24 months of operation. Independent predictors of early progression were subtotal resection (STR) (p?=?0.005), parafalcine/parasagittal location (p?=?0.015), peritumoural oedema (p?=?0.027) and mitotic index (MI)?>?7 (p?=?0.007). Adjuvant radiotherapy was negatively associated with early recurrence (p?=?0.046). Thirty-two per cent of patients with residual tumour and 26% after GTR received adjuvant radiotherapy. There was a significantly lower proportion of favourable outcomes at last follow-up (mRS 0-1) in patients with early recurrence (p?=?0.001). CONCLUSIONS:Atypical meningiomas are a heterogeneous group of tumours with 16.8% patients having recurrence within 24 months of surgery. Residual tumour, parafalcine/parasagittal location, peritumoural oedema and a MI?>?7 were all independently associated with early recurrence. As administration of adjuvant radiotherapy was not protocolised in this cohort, any conclusions about benefits of irradiation of WHO grade II meningiomas should be viewed with caution. Patients with early recurrence had worse neurological outcome. While histological and imaging characteristics provide some prognostic value, further molecular characterisation of atypical meningiomas is warranted to aid clinical decision making.
