Orbital exenteration in immunodeficiency virus-infected patients

Figures & data

Figure 1 Protrusion of orbital contents.

Figure 2 CT scan of the orbits.

Note: Intraorbital tumor without orbital bony destruction.
Abbreviation: CT, computed tomography.

Figure 3 Histological examination (magnification ×40).

Notes: (A) Squamous cell carcinoma (the white arrows indicate nodula with concentric laminated layer called “keratinous pearls”). (B) Adenoid cystic carcinoma (the white arrows indicate cribriform mass of dyscaryotic tumor cells). (C) Achromic melanoma (the white arrows indicate Proliferative pearls of achromic melanocytes).
