Analysis of Clinical Misdiagnoses in Children Treated With Enucleation
نویسنده
چکیده
Results: Of 729 pediatric patients (746 eyes) who had enucleation from 1960 to 2008, 29 patients (4.0%) and 30 eyes (4.0%) had discordant clinical and pathological diagnoses. The misdiagnosis enucleation rate decreased with each respective decade studied, with the highest rate of 6.5% (18 of 276 eyes) in the 1960s and no misdiagnoses from 1990 to 2008. Of the 369 eyes enucleated for the clinical indication of malignancy, 22 eyes (6.0%) were misdiagnosed in that no evidence of malignancy was found on histopathological examination. Of the 377 eyes enucleated for benign clinical indications, 7 cases (1.9%) were found to be malignant by histopathology.

متن کاملHigh-Resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging Can Reliably Detect Orbital Tumor Recurrence after Enucleation in Children with Retinoblastoma.
PURPOSE Orbital tumor recurrence is a rare but serious complication in children with retinoblastoma, leading to a high risk of metastasis and death. Therefore, we assume that these recurrences have to be detected and treated as early as possible. Preliminary studies used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate postsurgical findings in the orbit. In this study, we assessed the diagnostic ac...
