A historical perspective of registered cases of malignant ocular tumors in Zimbabwe (1990 to 1999). Is HIV infection a factor?
The increasing trend in the age-adjusted annual incidence rates of ocular surface squamous neoplasms could be attributed to the worsening HIV and AIDS pandemic in Zimbabwe or improved access/utilization of health services by the public.
In patients with functionally active neuroendocrine neoplasm, an RV-LV ratio of more than 1.07 predicted TR with a relatively high sensitivity and moderate specificity and thus could serve as an indicator of subclinical carcinoid heart disease on routine staging CT.
