Orbital Cancer Biopsy Carcinoma

Adenoid cystic carcinoma
Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare epithelial-based malignant tumour that mainly arises from the salivary glands. A direct or perineural spread from a lacrimal gland or sinonasal source can cause orbital involvement. Primary orbital adenoid cystic carcinoma without lacrimal gland involvement is uncommon.  The earliest symptoms of AdCC are determined by the tumour's location. Early lesions of the salivary glands may present as painless, slow-growing lumps beneath the normal mouth lining or facial skin. Because there are numerous salivary glands beneath the mucosal lining of the mouth, throat, and sinuses, lumps in these areas could be the result of a tumour of this sort. Other signs and symptoms could include:

· A mass on the roof of the mouth, under the tongue, or in the gums

· A change in the mouth's lining.

· Upper jaw, palate, face, and tongue numbness

· Swallowing difficulties

· Hoarseness

· Pain is dull.

· A lump or nodule in the earlobe or beneath the jaw

· a facial nerve is damaged

 

Adenoid cystic carcinoma affects glandular structures and is a kind of cancer. A lacrimal (lac-kree-mall) gland produces tears around the eye. Patients between the ages of 20 and 50 are most likely to develop orbital adenoid cystic carcinoma.

 Orbital Tumors: What Causes Them?

When a cancer in another part of the body (such as breast, lung, or prostate cancer) metastasizes (spreads) to the orbit, it can cause an orbital tumour. Melanoma (skin cancer) has the potential to migrate to the orbit as well. Other orbital tumours are primary, meaning they form in the orbital socket for no apparent reason. ACC has been linked to a number of genes, as well as gene combinations and sequences. This isn't to say that ACC is inherited. In fact, there are nearly no known cases involving members of the same family (only two have been reported).  Imaging investigations are required for the diagnosis of orbital tumours, as they are for other brain cancers. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans are both viable options. MRI scans are recommended in general because they provide clear images of the orbital components.  A biopsy may also be performed so that the tumour tissue can be studied under a microscope for a conclusive diagnosis.

 TREATMENT:-  Because the majority of brain tumours in this area are benign, if a tumour is small and does not cause symptoms, it may be left alone. Surgical removal is the best treatment choice if the tumour develops disfiguring exophthalmos or begins to cause visual problems. Surgical removal of benign tumours frequently results in a cure. Surgery may be followed by radiation and chemotherapy in the case of rare malignant tumours. Furthermore, stereotactic radiosurgery, which uses a highly concentrated beam of radiation to target cancer cells, can be utilised as a supplement to surgery. Orbital tumour surgery is typically performed by a team of neurosurgeons and neurophalmologists. Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lacrimal gland is a rare tumour, and in many cases, obtaining a comprehensive, long-term follow-up might be challenging. In some cases, however, a more conservative approach to the therapy of malignant epithelial tumours of the lacrimal gland may be explored, given the enhanced diagnostic and therapeutic methods now available.   Following neural tracts up to the brainstem, MRI pictures should be examined. Following surgery, adjuvant or palliative radiation is routinely used. Fast neutron therapy is largely recognised as the most effective type of treatment for advanced major and minor salivary gland tumours that are incurable, recurring, or have substantial residual disease following surgery.

 For Acute Stroke Mechanical Thrombectomy, Dr. Sandeep Sharma is the best doctor to see. He is a master in both suction and stent retrieval, and he employs both approaches in tandem.

Bilateral Varicocele Embolization

Varicoceles are not life-threatening, however, they can be linked to serious illnesses in rare cases. If a varicocele arises on the right side of the abdomen rather than the left, for example, make sure there is no mass or other abnormalities in the abdomen that could be causing it. Blood is transported back to the heart via veins throughout the body. They usually feature valves to keep the blood flowing in the right way. When the valves in the testicular vein don't work properly, blood can pool in the scrotum, resulting in a varicocele. They commonly happen on the left side, and they're caused by the testicular vein's path through the abdomen. Varicocele is a frequent condition that is not hazardous. In fact, a varicocele affects 15% of all adult men. Many men's varicocele will go undiscovered for the rest of their lives or may create no complications at all. Varicoceles affect about 20% of teens, therefore a portion of them will most likely resolve on their own. The

LIVER ABSCESS DRAINAGE

Image
A pus-filled patch of fluid within the liver is known as a pyrogenic hepatic abscess. Pyogenic denotes the production of pus. A liver abscess can arise from a number of various causes, including a blood infection, an abdominal infection, or an infected abdominal injury. An abscess in the liver is a serious infection. It has the potential to cause major issues and even death. It can cause tissue damage in the spot where it is discovered. Fever, discomfort, nausea, diarrhoea, and loss of appetite are all possible symptoms. The whole first treatment for an amebic liver abscess is amebicidal medicines. The medication of choice is metronidazeole. The size of the abscess is a key determinant in deciding how well medical therapy works. Other treatment options include percutaneous needle aspiration and/or catheter drainage.  The type of abscess that occurs is influenced by one's age. People in their 40s and 60s are more likely to have a liver abscess that is not caused by trauma.  The foll

What is Interventional Radiology?

Image
  The medical technology has done so much progress in the past one decade that it’s sometimes surprising. Interventional radiology is one such amazing medical innovation that involves medical imaging which guides minimally invasive surgical procedures that help in diagnosis, treatment and cure of many different kinds of treatments. For imaging, the modalities used are ultrasound, MRI, CT and fluoroscopy. Why Interventional Radiology? Many surgeries are now being switched to the method of Interventional radiology and that is because the IR procedure is known to be more effective compared to their traditional surgical counterparts. This method is any day less risky, less painful and even costs you way lesser comparatively. These reasons are influencing people to prefer the IR treatment methods and hence it is starting to expand all across the world. How does Interventional Radiology work? There are various broad range procedures performed under Interventional Radiology like treating tumo
