abstract background involvement of lacrimal apparatus by non hodgkin lymphoma as a first manifestation is extremely rare and only three cases have been reported in children. the purpose of this report is to determine the clinical characteristic of patient with primary involvement of lacrimal apparatus with lymphoma. case presentation a 7-year-old girl with history of tearing, gradually progress...

The magnetoresistance of a one-dimensional electron gas in a metallic ferromagnetic nanowire containing two atomic-size domain walls has been investigated in the presence of spin-orbit interaction. The magnetoresistance is calculated in the ballistic regime, within the Landauer-Büttiker formalism. It has been demonstrated that the conductance of a magnetic nanowire with double domain walls...

three-dimensional position measurements by global positioning system (gps) provide purely geometrical estimate of low earth orbiters (leos) positions. it provides uninterrupted tracking of the leos in three spatial dimensions or the so-called kinematic orbit. this solution relies heavily on the observations. high frequency observation noise, outlying observations and low redundancy number of me...

purpose : fine needle aspiration (fna) cytologic findings of langerhans cell histiocytosis (lch) have been well described, but using this method in the diagnosis of orbital lesions is a recent experience. we hereby report two cases of orbital bone lch diagnosed by fna that later was confirmed by routine h&e; histopathology and immunohistochemistry (ihc) methods. case reports : the first case wa...

follicular thyroid carcinoma (ftc) is the second most common type of thyroid cancer after papillary carcinoma. it usually grows slowly and is clinically indolent; but rarely, its aggressive forms with distant metastases can occur. we report here an uncommon case of bilateral orbital metastasis of ftc. a 70-year-old woman presented with bilateral exophtalmus and past medical history of thyroid n...

background and objective: inflammatory pseudotumor  is a lesion composed of proliferating spindle cells with mixed inflammatory infiltrates. some authors have proposed the name inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor as a proper descriptive term rather than the vague inflammatory pseudotumor. the aim of this study was to verify the myofibroblastic origin of spindle cells in idiopathic orbital inflam...

intraocular metastatic tumors have been increasingly reported in the recent past. unlike choroidal metastasis, metastasis to retina is very rare and so far has been reported in very few case reports only. case presentation : a 56 year-old male who presented with a history of adenocarcinoma of the cecum and underwent lap colectomy for the primary cecal tumor, received adjuvant chemotherapy for a...
