Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation of cytogenetic abnormalities with the outcome of patients with uveal melanoma
Valerie A. White,Valerie A. White,Jeffrey D. Chambers,Paul Courtright,Wilma Y. Chang,Douglas E. Horsman,Douglas E. Horsman +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that choroid and ciliary body melanomas are characterized by recurrent clonal abnormalities involving chromosomes 3, 6, and 8 and that these abnormalities were associated with outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optic nerve sheath meningiomas.
Peerooz Saeed,Peerooz Saeed,Jack Rootman,R A Nugent,Valerie A. White,Ian R. A. Mackenzie,Leo Koornneef +6 more
TL;DR: Meningiomas show characteristic indolent growth and management should be conservative in most cases, and Radiotherapy is indicated in patients with progressive visual deterioration, when indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adult xanthogranulomatous disease of the orbit and ocular adnexa: new immunohistochemical findings and clinical review
Jennifer A. Sivak-Callcott,Jack Rootman,S L Rasmussen,Nugent Ra,Valerie A. White,Dion Paridaens,Z Currie,Geoffrey E. Rose,B Clark,Alan A McNab,F V Buffam,J M Neigel,Michael Kazim +12 more
TL;DR: Adult xanthogranuloma of the orbit is rare, making prospective evaluation or meta-analysis impossible, and the best treatment seems to be with multiagent chemotherapy guided by histopathological, immunohistochemical, and systemic findings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Idiopathic Sclerosing Inflammation of the Orbit: A Distinct Clinicopathologic Entity
TL;DR: Iiopathic sclerosing inflammation of the orbit is a unique clinicopathologic entity that is characterized by primary, chronic, and immunologically mediated fibrosis, poor response to corticosteroid treatment or radiotherapy, and frequent visual disability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissecting karyotypic patterns in malignant melanomas: temporal clustering of losses and gains in melanoma karyotypic evolution.
Mattias Höglund,David Gisselsson,Gunnar B. Hansen,Valerie A. White,Torbjörn Säll,Felix Mitelman,Douglas E. Horsman +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that at least two cytogenetic pathways of clonal evolution exist in malignant melanomas, one initiated with −3 and one with +6p, and that these pathways operate in both skin and eye melanomas.
