RESUMO
Intraocular teratomas are rare neoplasms with only three previously reported cases. We present the fourth case of intraocular teratoma and the second associated with sacrococcygeal teratoma. While the nature of the association between intraocular teratomas and sacrococcygeal teratomas is unclear, it suggests a need for careful ophthalmologic follow-up of infants with congenital sacrococcygeal teratomas.

AIM: The aim of this study was to report a case of metastatic uveal melanoma in which radioembolized nodular liver metastases decreased in size while infiltrative sinusoidal metastases progressed, leading to jaundice without obstruction of the biliary ducts. METHODS: The relevant clinical features, imaging, and histopathologic findings of this case are reviewed. RESULTS: A 61-year-old Caucasian male with a history of uveal melanoma of the left eye status post plaque brachytherapy developed numerous liver metastases. After progression on systemic therapies, he underwent palliative radioembolization. Despite some radiographic improvement in the liver metastases, he developed hyperbilirubinemia without biliary tract obstruction or signs of liver failure. A biopsy of radiographically normal liver demonstrated extensive sinusoidal infiltration with melanoma. CONCLUSIONS: Distinct angiographic and histopathologic growth patterns of metastatic uveal melanoma differ in their amenability to radioembolization. Sinusoidal infiltration may lead to hyperbilirubinemia in the absence of overt obstruction or liver failure.
RESUMO
Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma of borderline malignancy is a rare disease, especially in male patients. Often these tumors are not incidentally found due to abdominal symptoms. We present the radiologic abdominal computed tomography scan, surgical, and pathologic images of this unique, rare condition in a male patient. Surgical treatment is recommended to establish diagnosis and treatment.
