Iris cyst after femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery: a case report

Abstract Background Secondary iris cysts are uncommon complication after cataract surgery. The reports of an iris cyst after conventional phacoemulsification surgery are scanty, let alone the iris cyst following femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS). We herein report an unusual case of an iris cyst after an uneventful FLACS. Case presentation A 64-year-old man who was healthy underwent FLACS for a moderate cataract of his left eye. Shortly after surgery, he achieved 20/20 vision, but anterior bowing of temporal iris was noted on postoperative day 9 with a retro-pupillary iris cyst at temporal-inferior quadrant found after pupil dilatation. The cyst was confirmed by ultrasound bio-microscopy afterward. Four weeks later, argon laser cystotomy was performed, and the cyst disappeared 3 days later. The patient’s vision remained stable thereafter. Conclusion Although rare, secondary iris cyst may be one of the complications after FLACS. Argon laser cystotomy is effective in the management of post-FLACS iris cyst.

Pure Seminoma

Abstract Background Seminoma is the most common subtype of testicular cancer and occurs most commonly in patients aged 30–49 years, but decreases to a very low level in men in their 60s or older. Case presentation A 90-year-old Syrian man with a 6-year history of an increase in size of his right scrotum, presented to the urological clinic and, on clinical examination, the findings suggested testicular tumor. After orchiectomy and histology results based on microscopic and immunohistochemical examinations, a pure seminoma was diagnosed, so we describe in this case report the second-oldest patient with classical seminoma in the medical literature. Conclusion This case report has been written to focus on the probability of any type of testicular tumor occurring at any age or decade; urologists should consider seminoma as a differential diagnosis with any testicular swelling even in elderly patients.
