Recurrent Fungal Iris Granuloma in a 10-Year-Old Child

Pseudotumor of Ciliary Body

“…A direct biopsy of the ciliary body was taken in their case which showed nonspecific inflammatory process, consisting of numerous lymphocytes, plasma cells, and histiocytes [4]. A careful fine needle aspiration biopsy may also be tried for ciliary body mass as done in a case of uveitis with iris mass, which may help in the diagnosis [5]. …”

“…Inflammatory causes like tuberculosis or sarcoidosis were considered. Other differential diagnosis included neoplasia, lymphoma, and fungal granuloma of the ciliary body [4, 5]. Since all the tests except erythrocyte sedimentation rate were within normal limits and the patient responded well to systemic steroid therapy, we considered the diagnosis of pseudotumor of the ciliary body of the granulomatous type.…”

Evolution of Diagnostic Methods for Infectious and Non-Infectious Uveitis. Review

“…В сложных диагностических случаях тонкоигольная аспирационная биопсия часто играет решающую роль [48], что демонстрирует клинический случай, описанный P. Selvakumar и соавт. [49], в котором первоначальный диагноз туберкулезной гранулемы радужки, основанный на характерной клинической картине и наличии диагностических титров иммуноглобулина М, был изменен на основании выполненной тонкоигольной аспирационной биопсии с последующим окрашиванием гидроксидом калия, выявившим наличие грибковых филаментов Aspergillus fumigatus, что впоследствии было подтверждено результатами ПЦР.…”

Role of fine needle aspiration biopsy cytology in the diagnosis of infections

“…22,23 Typically Aspergillus spp show acutely branching septate hyphae 7 lm in diameter which aggregate. Aspergillus fumigatus and related species have a worldwide distribution and are commonly found in the upper respiratory tract, paranasal sinuses, lungs and mediastinal lymph nodes and disseminate in immunocompromised patients to skin and central nervous system and other sites.…”
