The ICH Advisory Panel did approve this SMQ topic to go into the development phase and it Comment: underwent testing in three databases (two regulatory authorities and one company). However, there were numerous challenges encountered in testing and the consensus decision of the CIOMS SMQ Implementation Working Group was that the topic could not be developed to go into production as an SMQ. Most notably, in contrast to other SMQs, this query could not be tested using negative control compounds because it was not possible to identify suitable compounds administered via infusion that were not associated with some type of reaction. In addition, there is no internationally agreed definition of an infusion related reaction and the range of potential reactions associated with the large variety of compounds given by infusion is very broad and heterogenous. Testing was conducted on a set of around 500 terms, the majority of which was already included in Anaphylactic reaction (SMQ), Angioedema (SMQ), and Hypersensitivity (SMQ). It proved difficult to identify potential cases of infusion related reactions in post-marketing databases where the temporal relationship of the event to the infusion is typically not available. In clinical trial databases where this information is more easily available, users are encouraged to provide more specificity about the event, e.g., by reporting “Anaphylactic reaction” when it is known that this event is temporally associated with the infusion.

  • Surgical Excision of Eyelid Lesions Reference Number: CP.VP.75 Coding Implications Last Review Date: 12/2020 Revision Log
    Clinical Policy: Surgical Excision of Eyelid Lesions Reference Number: CP.VP.75 Coding Implications Last Review Date: 12/2020 Revision Log See Important Reminder at the end of this policy for important regulatory and legal information. Description: The majority of eyelid lesions are benign, ranging from innocuous cysts and chalazion/hordeolum to nevi and papillomas. Key features that should prompt further investigation include gradual enlargement, central ulceration or induration, irregular borders, eyelid margin destruction or loss of lashes, and telangiectasia. This policy describes the medical necessity requirements for surgical excision of eyelid lesions. Policy/Criteria I. It is the policy of health plans affiliated with Centene Corporation® (Centene) that surgical excision and repair of eyelid or conjunctiva due to lesion or cyst or eyelid foreign body removal is medically necessary for any of the following indications: A. Lesion with one or more of the following characteristics: 1. Bleeding; 2. Persistent or intense itching; 3. Pain; 4. Inflammation; 5. Restricts vision or eyelid function; 6. Misdirects eyelashes or eyelid; 7. Displaces lacrimal puncta or interferes with tear flow; 8. Touches globe; 9. Unknown etiology with potential for malignancy; B. Lesions classified as one of the following: 1. Malignant; 2. Benign; 3. Cutaneous papilloma; 4. Cysts; 5. Embedded foreign bodies; C. Periocular warts associated with chronic conjunctivitis. Background The majority of eyelid lesions are benign, ranging from innocuous cysts and chalazion/hordeolum to nevi and papillomas. Key features that should prompt further investigation include gradual enlargement, central ulceration or induration, irregular borders, eyelid margin destruction or loss of lashes, and telangiectasia. Benign tumors, even though benign, often require removal and therefore must be examined carefully and the differential diagnosis of a malignant eyelid tumor considered and the method of removal planned.

Present for 4 weeks. Nodular fasciitis is a self-limited pseudosarcomatous proliferation that may cause clinical alarm due to its rapid growth. It is most common in young adults but occurs across a wide age range. This lesion is typically 3-5 cm and composed of bland fibroblasts and myofibroblasts without significant cytologic atypia arranged in a loose storiform pattern with areas of extravasated red blood cells. Mitoses may be numerous, but atypical mitotic figures are absent. Nodular fasciitis is a benign process, and recurrence is very rare (1%). Recent work has shown that the MYH9-USP6 gene fusion is present in approximately 90% of cases, and molecular techniques to show USP6 gene rearrangement may be a helpful ancillary tool in difficult cases or on small biopsy samples.

Abstract Background and Design: Albeit an easily recognized disease, urticaria features many diverse approaches which rationalize the need for an algorithm for the diagnosis, classification, etiopathogenesis, diagnostic evaluation and therapeutic approach. Therefore, authors from Dermatoallergy Working Group of the Turkish Society of Dermatology and the Turkish Dermatoimmunology and Allergy Association aimed to create an urticaria guideline for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of urticaria. Materials and Methods: Each section of the guideline has been written by a different author. The prepared sections were evaluated in part by e-mail correspondence and have taken its final form after revision in the last meeting held by the participation of all authors.
