Endocarditis II: Clinical Features of Infective Endocarditis

Endocarditis II: Clinical Features of Infective Endocarditis

Endocarditis can present various clinical features depending on the causative organism and the patient's underlying health conditions. Initially, the clinical features of infective endocarditis develop gradually, presenting with nonspecific symptoms that can be easily mistaken for other illnesses.General SymptomsEarly symptoms of infective endocarditis are fever, chills, weakness, malaise, fatigue, and weight loss. These symptoms reflect the systemic nature of the infection and the body's...

Cirrhosis I: Introduction

Cirrhosis I: Introduction

Cirrhosis is a chronic, irreversible liver disease characterized by the widespread replacement of healthy liver tissue with fibrotic scar tissue and the formation of regenerative nodules.Etiology of cirrhosisCirrhosis results from sustained liver injury that triggers progressive fibrosis and structural remodeling. The underlying causes are diverse, encompassing common and less frequent clinical conditions. Regardless of the origin, all causes lead to chronic inflammation, hepatocyte loss, and...

Summary

Bilateral epibulbar xanthomatous lesions, rare yellow eye masses, can occur in adults without systemic disease. Surgical excision offers successful treatment for these recurrent ocular findings.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Dermatopathology
Histiocytic Disorders

Background:

Epibulbar xanthomatous lesions are rare ocular tumors.
These lesions can present bilaterally in adults.
Normal serum lipid profiles do not exclude xanthomatous lesions.

Observation:

A 44-year-old male presented with recurrent bilateral yellow epibulbar masses.
Histological examination revealed foamy histiocytes and Touton giant cells.
Systemic evaluation and serum lipid profiles were normal.

Findings:

Xanthomatous epibulbar lesions can be an isolated finding.
The lesions demonstrated recurrence after initial excision.
Surgical excision resulted in no recurrence at 1-year follow-up.

Implications:

Further evaluation for non-Langerhans cell histiocytic diseases and lipid metabolism disorders is warranted.
Xanthomatous epibulbar lesions may present without systemic manifestations.
Surgical excision is an effective treatment for recurrent xanthomatous epibulbar lesions.
