The eye is the second most common site for primary melanoma after the skin. An ophthalmologic evaluation should be an integral aspect of melanoma screening that is often not even considered by ...nonophthalmologists. Delays or failures to make an accurate and early diagnosis can have grave consequences. Early recognition and diagnosis, before the tumor has progressed into an advanced process with a poor prognosis, can often result in complete cures through early interventional treatments. It is imperative that physicians adequately understand and appropriately examine or refer patients for appropriate screening for ocular melanoma as a routine practice in screening for melanoma. This article is intended to raise the clinical awareness of the practicing physician regarding this disease.
Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) are extranodal non-Hodgkin's T-cell lymphomas that present in the skin, the most common form being mycosis fungoides. The progression of disease is associated with ...acquired immunodeficiency and increased susceptibility to infections. Ten CTCL patients presented with dark brown to black eschars overlying ulcerated tumors that cultured positive for Enterococcus and healed with appropriate antibiotic therapy. Enterococcal infections in CTCL tumors may be recognized as a distinct clinical entity requiring specific intervention.
