Epibulbar rhabdomyosarcoma without proptosis
Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology
|November 1, 1977
Abstract:
Orbital rhabdomyosarcoma presenting as a localized, epibulbar mass is unusual, but common enough for the clinician to be aware of it. Although there has been a recent trend toward simple biopsy followed by irradiation and chemotherapy, cases presenting in this manner may sometimes be managed by total excision with preservation of the globe, follwed by irradiation and chemotherapy. A case of such an epibulbar rhabdomyosarcoma is presented as an illustrative example.

01:03Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.

01:20The Retinoblastoma Gene
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
